The Distinguished Gentleman background

The Distinguished Gentleman

A master manipulator uses his skills of deception to secure a congressional seat, but soon faces the moral challenges that come with wielding power in Washington D.C.

In the cutthroat world of politics, a seasoned manipulator like Thomas Jefferson Johnson finds himself struggling to maintain his grasp on power. Johnson's reliance on name recognition to get elected initially grants him access to the same financial benefits as his colleagues. However, his investigation into the link between electric companies and childhood cancer unexpectedly sparks a sense of morality within him. Meanwhile, fellow Congressman Dick Dodge is determined to silence Johnson's newfound concerns and maintain the status quo.
