The Powers That Be

The misadventures of a well-meaning but dim-witted American senator and his circle of unconventional and morally ambiguous associates.

William Powers, a senator, is actually controlled by his wife Margaret, his mistress Jordan, and his political aide Bradley. At home, he struggles with his fussy daughter Caitlyn and her suicidal husband Theodore, who has a crush on their maid Charlotte. The arrival of his illegitimate daughter Sophie Lipkin during a re-election campaign causes chaos, but Sophie quickly forms a bond with her father and becomes integral to his life and work.
