Young political idealist, and grandson of civil rights leader, Henry Burton, is recruited to join the campaign of Jack Stanton, a charismatic Southern governor who is trying to win the Democratic Party nomination for President of the United States. The campaign is then rocked by a fresh allegation when Jack’s old friend, Fat Willie McCollister approaches Henry to tell him that his 17-year-old daughter Loretta, who worked for the Stantons as a babysitter, is pregnant and that Jack is the father.

“It’s often quite an adversarial relationship between a novelist and the people adapting their work, because a big part of the job is discarding material.”
