Can't believe this is averaging over 4 stars. It was alright. It wasn't "powerful" like it was trying to be. More soap opera than anything. The main character and his story was pretty generic to be honest. The evil senator is another cliche that doesn't even register with me anymore. Are senators really this powerful so that their personal actions can all be covered up? Seems like most get caught. It could've been shorter. The children artist they used as inspiration was this Where the Wild Things Are.
