Plot summary
In August 2003, the Bogota Borough Council cuts funding, and the threat to the town's high school football team angers residents. With a mayoral election ahead, many in Bogota want the Republican incumbent, Steve Lonegan, unseated. Fred Pesce, a Democrat and former council member coaxed out of retirement, runs against him. In late September, Dave Musikant, a former high school athlete and town booster, enters as a long-shot write-in independent. The three-way contest in the small town draws national attention, in part because Lonegan and Musikant are both legally blind, the only mayoral race in the nation with two such candidates.
