Splitting Washington

J.D. CROWELL is fired as President ADDISON HUNTINGTON'S campaign manager over a public indiscretion with LIBBY CATTON, a beautiful mixed-race White Houser staffer.

Soon, however, J.D. discovers the real reason for his axing was not his affair with Libby, but rather the fact that her mother was BRIGET DONOVAN, a Sixties’ radical still wanted for bombing federal buildings. Libby's radical past threatens both the President and MAYNARD KEYNES, the sports-and-entertainment Congressman who is one step away from becoming America's the first biracial President.

Fleeing Washington anonymously for the sake of his family and Libby, J.D. finds a way to throw a monkey wrench into the political machinery of the aging President and also unmask the treachery of RASHAAD LEWIS, Keynes's murderous campaign manager.
