But with an investigative journalist digging into his past, a father trying to silence him, and the bully frontrunner standing in his way, Mark will have to decide which matters most: perception or truth, when both are just as dangerous. Soon, Mark feels emboldened to engage with voters - and even start a new romance. Still, thanks to Scandal and The West Wing, they know where to start: from campaign stops to voter polling to a fashion makeover. He didn’t grow up in this town, and his few friends are all nerds. But when he sees a manipulatively charming candidate for student body president inflame dangerous rhetoric, Mark risks his low profile to become a political challenger. Mark has promised to keep his past hidden and pretend to be the cis guy everyone assumes he is. Everything Mark knows about politics, he learned from his father, the Congressman who still pretends he has a daughter and not a son.
