On Capitol Hill, they work you to death.
Cameron Leann is new to Washington, D.C. He's an Iowa farm boy with no money to his name who has been initiated into a circle of affluent friends: fellow junior staffers for a powerful cohort of US Senators dubbed the Gang of Six. Cam is drawn in by Liz, the junior staffers' charismatic leader who teases and strings him along as he grows increasingly infatuated with her. There's also Randy, a playboy and heir to a political dynasty who lives high off booze, drugs, and meaningless flings, and then there is Charlie. Charlie is Liz's linebacker boyfriend, who's suspicious of newcomer Cam.
Despite their differences, these staffers all have one thing in common: they hate their bosses.
As their bosses, the Gang of Six, take up the rushed nomination of the first Black chief justice to the Supreme Court, Cam and his friends are plotting for them. But in the game of politics, no one's motivations are ever as they seem. When a bombshell revelation threatens to sink the President's Supreme Court pick, the Gang of Six fractures, pitting senator against senator in a confirmation battle for the ages. Alliances will shift with the wind. Everyone is lying to everyone. And on Election Night, a senator will end up dead.
One in the Chamber is a satirically dark and tongue in cheek political mystery about power dynamics, wealth, race and gender politics in the workplace, and how these issues play out on the wider stage in America today.
