A lighthearted romantic comedy that uses physical absurdity and political fish-out-of-water scenarios to explore whether love can coexist with personal conviction.

A small town waitress gets a nail accidentally lodged in her head causing unpredictable behavior that leads her to Washington, DC. Sparks fly when she meets a clueless young senator who takes up her cause - but what happens when love interferes with what you stand for?
