Step into 1920s Louisiana state politics, headed by the polarizing Governor Huey Pierce Long Jr. Known as the Kingfish, Long rose to power on a wave of popular support. He split with old Democratic policy to forge ahead with a platform of “Every man a king, but no one wears a crown.” In a gathering of state employees, associates, and family, you must decide the future of a Louisiana plagued with trouble, not to mention Long’s antics. Even more tumultuous events lie on the horizon and the committee must decide whether to unite under the demagogue Kingfish, or to turn their backs on his vision.
