It follows the lives of two members of the National Assembly of Québec - Charlotte L'Écuyer, a Liberal back bencher, and Daniel Turp, a Parti Québécois (PQ) Shadow Minister.
Daniel Turp lost his seat to Québec solidaire member Amir Khadir.
The filming took place during the Liberal Party's first majority government (2003–2007), under Premier Jean Charest.
During the filming, Bernard Landry faced a leadership challenged, launched, in part, by Pauline Marois.
Thomas Mulcair, former Leader of the Official Opposition in Canadian federal politics, also features in the film as Minister of Sustainable Development in Jean Charest's Liberal government.
