The Runner
Power always comes at a price
A morally complex political drama about idealism corrupted by power, set against the backdrop of environmental catastrophe and personal unraveling.
In the aftermath of the BP oil spill, an idealistic but imperfect New Orleans politician (Nicolas Cage) finds his plans of restoration unraveling as his own life becomes contaminated with corruption, scandal and deceit.
