Choose Connor (2007)

Described as doing "for politics, what Wall Street did for capitalism" (Las Vegas Weekly), Choose Connor is a "brilliantly devised political thriller" (Moviemaker Mag). When 15-year-old Owen meets Congressman Lawrence Connor at his middle school graduation, the bookish, friendless boy is flattered to be offered a junior position with Connor's senatorial campaign. Owen soon befriends the Congressmen's young nephew, Caleb, but as his involvement in the campaign grows, Owen's innocence is shattered. He discovers the dark underbelly of politics, where business and politics share more than financial interests, and idealism and innocence rarely go unpunished.
