On the day that he dies, Senator John McCain wakes up inside the mind of Donald Trump, who won’t let him rest in peace until he admits that Trump is the greatest president who’s ever lived.
Over the course of his posthumous journey, McCain gathers a “Greek Chorus” of iconic figures also trapped inside the President’s head, including Hillary Clinton, Roy Cohn, Eva Peron, Teddy Roosevelt, Taylor Swift, Kanye West, Grizabella from Cats, and Lindsey Graham. Together they rebel against the President’s relentless demands for affirmation and engage in a high-stakes debate over integrity, efficacy, and the struggle for ethical self-actualization in a world that rewards expediency.
