Set against the backdrop of a mythic New West, a satire that follows grammaticallychallenged, userfriendly candidate Dicky Pilager (Cooper), scapegrace scion of Colorado s venerable Senator Senator Judson Pilager (Michael Murphy), during his gubernatorial campaign. When Pilager finds that he s reeled in a corpse during the taping of an environmental political ad, his ferocious campaign manager, Chuck Raven (Dreyfuss), hires former idealistic journalist turned rumpled private detective Danny O Brien (Danny Huston ) to investigate potential links between the corpse and the Pilager family s enemies. Danny s investigation pulls him deeper and deeper into a complex web of influence and corruption, involving high stakes lobbyists, media conglomerates, environmental plunderers, and undocumented migrant workers.
