Terri J. Vaughn stars as Mississippi Lieutenant Governor candidate Antoinette Dunkerson (Vaughn) who wins her election and then realizes her new job will involve a lot more than what she originally signed up for.

“I hate this politics shit!”, says Dunkerson’s mom in the trailer, to which Dunkerson replies, “Mama, have you been smoking weed?”
Jade Novah, Drew Olivia Tillman, Tré Boyd, Dyon Brooks and Jo Marie Payton also star.
