N.K. Edwards and Vijay Shah are a pair of warring solicitors whose conflict spills out of the courtroom and into chambers, their quarrel witnessed by Councillor Judith Silver.
Labour councillor Judith Silver invites N.K. Edwards and Vijay Shah to stand for election to the local council. Who will win the seat? And will Tory councillor Edward Feathers have the last laugh?
A line of hopefuls queue for an unexpected vacancy in the housing department. Silver, Edwards, and Shah each have their favourites, but some of the candidates have more obvious assets than others.
Edwards and Shah are on a collision course with each other and with Silver, as they battle to save their local school from closure. And does Edwards want Paulette Mann for her mind or for what she doesn't mind?
As Edwards and Shah climb the greasy pole to success, rival factions aided by Feathers are plotting revolution. Silver is in love, but what of her political ambitions?
