Summary:
Shortly before an election, a spin-doctor and a Hollywood producer join efforts to fabricate a war in order to cover up a Presidential sex scandal.
When a U.S. president faces a scandal just days before an election, a spin doctor and a Hollywood producer team up to distract the public. They fabricate a fictional war with Albania, using the media to sell the story and rally patriotic support.
As the elaborate deception unfolds, the team goes to great lengths to maintain the illusion, even creating fake footage and heroic narratives. However, as the charade spirals out of control, the boundaries between reality and fiction blur, raising questions about the power of media and manipulation in modern politics.
