In a small town in Ohio, Trudy McClain (Cate Blanchett) - single mother, high school dropout, Bed, Bath and Beyond employee of the month ten months in a row - is running for Congress. She’s sick of decisions being made for her by people who don’t know anything about her. She’s aided by her late father’s best friend and armchair expert on Ohio politics Ray (Bill Nighy) and her favourite colleagues from Bed Bath and Beyond, Olive (Stephanie Beatriz) and Frances (Laverne Cox). Ray is the campaign manager, Olive is on communications, and Frances will handle the press. Nobody thinks they can do it. And things are certainly complicated by their lack of funds, and the wild stories from Trudy’s teenage years becoming public knowledge. Not to mention Olive’s burgeoning relationship with Asha (Tina Desai), a political reporter sent to report on the campaign. But Trudy is tenacious - you’d have to be, to live the life she’s had. She’s determined to make a better life, not just for herself, but for all the women like her. Just when things start to look truly hopeless, former White House Chief of Staff Gabe King (Idris Elba) gets wind of what’s happening in the 13th Ohio Congressional district - and finds himself falling in love with the campaign’s press officer. With his support, the little campaign that could, just might.

"She was the only one he loved."

As an actor, you're constantly riddled with self-doubt. You are your own worst critic.

I was in Cloquet last week and my thoughts turned to Jessica. ❤️ Fingers crossed for tonight. 🤞🏻

It's also been exactly three months since my heart surgery and I'm STILL recovering. 😷 A day at a time.

I’m on medication to help control my odd heartbeats. If that doesn’t work I will have a procedure to correct the beating but my doctors are confident I won’t need it. If I do it’s supposedly an easy and safe procedure. Again thank you all for your kind messages! Hopefully this medicine will be the only solution I need.
