When the movie industry shuts down PM, Zack and his friend Joe embark on a unique project: to make a movie about running for New York City Council while actually running for New York City Council. Zack and his campaign work with their community on a local level, trying to improve the lives of their fellow West Siders, but the campaign struggles to gain attention. Then through some unorthodox tactics, Zack’s team takes his lowly business to the pinnacle of NYC politics.
