Kevin Costner plays Bud Johnson, a mediocre Father and apathetic American who, after a mistake at a polling Booth, becomes the single vote that would decide the fate of the Oval Office. Dennis Hopper and Kelsey Grammer play warring political hopefuls; Hopper as the Ralph Nader like Presidential hopeful and Kelsey Grammer as the current president looking to gain another run. With the help of his daughter played by the magnificent Madeline Carroll can Bud Johnson break out of his self absorbed world and realize that he has the power to speak for the voiceless or will he blow it?
