Political thriller with a twist: A women who is a US senator is picked to be VP after the VP dies. But she has a sexual transgression in her past, which the conservative committee chair is willing to use against her. Blah blah blah. Oh, and there's a twist at the end! Who writes this standard potboiler stuff, and how does it get anointed as such an important work? A total waste of time.
