“Sarah Burgess’s muckraking political drama
tosses an honest politician into the Washington
swamp and invites us to watch the fun.”
Fresh from New York, this incisive comedy takes an unflinching look at how things get
done in Washington. When Sydney Millsap wins a seat in Congress, she’s determined to
drain the swamp. Then she meets Kate, a whip-smart lobbyist who gets her clients what
they want— whatever they want. When Kate helps Sydney try to unseat a powerful
senator steeped in cronyism, the result is a “sleek, fast-paced, absorbing and very
funny” ( Vogue) exploration of money’s corrosive effect on politics.
