After watching America's disastrous past eight years from the sidelines in Europe, Thomas Altheimer travels to America to find and launch Europe's own candidate for president. At an LA casting session he picks Hannah Jefferson to front the Europe 2008 campaign. But Altheimer quickly learns how difficult it is to get real with no organization and little money. In a last-ditch effort, Altheimer takes the European cause to the floor of the 2008 Democratic National Convention in Denver where the Europe 2008 campaign has three days to sway delegates to vote for Hannah.
