A satirical political comedy that uses a border crisis and media sensationalism to skewer American xenophobia, partisan division, and the machinery of cable news.

When a planeload of Pakistani orphans are shipped to his state for permanent relocation, the governor of Idaho defies the president and closes the state's border. News Net Television, a cable news program that makes hay by reporting on political scandals, quickly spins the racist act into an overnight media sensation, creating a divide in national opinion over the issue.
