After serving his Brooklyn district for many years, Congressman Sullivan discovers that his once comfortable Irish American majority has given way to a diverse district of blacks and Hispanics. Challenged by a more liberal opponent and desperate to maintain his seat, he painfully learns that he and his views are outdated and irrelevant.
