The Politician (2019 – 2020)

From the sun-drenched privilege of Santa Barbara comes Payton Hobart, a young man with an ambition as vast as the American dream: to become President of the United States. But before he can even consider the Oval Office, Payton faces his first and perhaps most daunting political battleground – Saint Sebastian High School. This is where power plays are ruthless, alliances shift like desert sands, and the stakes for popularity and influence feel impossibly high. Get ready to witness a meticulously planned ascent as Payton learns that conquering high school politics might be even more challenging than leading a nation.

The race for New York State Senate is on, and young Payton Hobart has set his sights on challenging powerhouse Dede Standish. The incumbent, a beloved Senate Majority Leader with the formidable Hadassah Gold orchestrating her every move, seemed destined for an easy victory. But Payton, driven by ambitions that stretch all the way to the White House, finds himself grappling with tough choices – and confronting uncomfortable truths – as he navigates the cutthroat world of politics. To win, he’ll have to decide just how far he's willing to go, even if it means unearthing buried secrets, exposing carefully constructed lies, and revealing a relationship that could shake everything apart.
