The Best Woman

For the first time, in a not too distant future marked by war overseas and cultural conflict at home, both major American political parties have nominated women for the presidency. Dr. Nea Gilchrist, former Secretary of State and the first African-American woman Vice President, must distance herself from Sam Houston Bullard, the conservative Republican President to whom she owes her political success. Senator Amanda Dean Styles, a white Northeastern liberal and the widow of Brendan Styles, a charismatic Democratic presidential candidate, must emerge from the shadows of the tragedy that shaped her political future. Tonight--under the watchful eye of the charismatic humanitarian Dr. Zora Quick--is their first debate.
