Synopsis:

For years David Holst has been hot favorite to become the next prime minister of Sweden. However, after a stunning turnaround at the polls, he is left to ponder another four years on the sidelines. Down in the dumps, he drags himself from one dull meaningless political meeting to another. But life is about to change. David, married for some years, is about to fall in love and, most surprisingly, to a man. Martin is charming, bright, fun-loving and the state secretary to the Prime Minister’s office. Not only does David need to navigate a newly found sexuality but also a political divide. Questions aplenty: should he give up his career, throw away his marriage, abandon his colleagues, shock his religious parents, all for a social democrat who’s had more one-night stands than David’s had votes? Pushed to answer these questions, David turns his back on Martin. And by the time he realizes he’s made the biggest mistake of his life it’s almost too late.
