Zack Weiner is an actor residing on New York's Upper West Side. When the film industryPM shuts down, Zack and his friend Joe embark on a unique project: to make a film about running for city council, while actually running for New York‘s city council.
Zack and his campaign work with their community on a local level, attempting to improve the lives of their fellow west siders, but the campaign struggles to get attention. Then through some unconventional tactics, Zack’s team propels his underdog campaign to the heights of NYC politics.
