In 2008, in an alternate universe where anything can happen, a woman named Hillary Clinton is running for president in the United States. Struggling in Iowa against her more charismatic opponent ("The Other Guy"), she calls on her husband Bill for support. Bill offers her a deal, but when Hillary agrees to his help, she gets far more than she bargained for.
