David Harewood (Homeland, Blood Diamond) and Zachary Quinto (Star Trek, The Boys in the Band) play feuding political rivals in this multiple award-winning and critically acclaimed drama, directed by Jeremy Herrin (All My Sons) and written by James Graham (Sherwood, Quiz)
1968 – a year of protest that divided America. As two men fight to become the next President, all eyes are on the battle between two others: the cunningly conservative William F. Buckley Jr. (Harewood), and the iconoclastic liberal Gore Vidal (Quinto). Beliefs are challenged and slurs slung as these political idols feud nightly in a new television format, debating the moral landscape of a shattered nation. Little do they know they're about to open up a new frontier in American politics, and transform television news forever.
