A satirical comedy that uses a singing competition as a vehicle to skewer American politics, celebrity culture, and voter apathy with energetic irreverence.

The new season of "American Dreamz," the wildly popular television singing contest, has captured the country's attention, as the competition looks to be between a young Midwestern gal and a showtunes-loving young man from Orange County. Recently awakened President Staton even wants in on the craze, as he signs up for the potential explosive season finale.
