The High Price of Success
When high school teacher Myles Bradford wins the Powerball lottery, he decides to do something truly unexpected: run for President of the United States.
Bradford is eager about the opportunity, but his family clearly is not. With little time to sway them to his side, he's thrust into running a quarter-billion-dollar nationwide campaign, complete with cross-country flights and road trips, expert staff, and armed security. But like most dreams, Bradford soon finds that what he imagined is completely different from what is real.
Thrust into the spotlight, he faces attacks from newfound political enemies and false accusations while striving to climb the ladder of success. As Bradford gets closer to achieving his dreams, danger lurks on the home front. As his attention is pulled farther away from the things that matter most, Bradford may learn that even success has its price.
In the end, Bradford has to ask himself the most important question of all: How much is he willing to lose to win?
A Story of Family, Faith, and Purpose
Fool’s Luck is not like other political stories today. It gives you more of the hope of Madam Secretary and The West Wing than it does House of Cards. It is a story of family and faith, of hope and possibility.
When we watch the news, we know "What is?" Fool's Luck asks "What can be?" This story is real and honest, yet heartwarming and funny. This is the kind of raw, yet faith-filled story that crosses genres and audiences.
Fool's Luck works because Justin and Dave bring years of acting, directing and writing to the project. They lean into the skills the other person has and together have refined the story until its best elements shine forth.
