​​​Do citizens have the right to judge elected leaders on personal morals? An idealistic voter lost faith in a political candidate and is demanding that he return the contribution she made to his campaign. A man with ties to the candidate appears at her door, offering her money if she will "back off." Can her values stand up to the test?

Bernadette Armstrong directs a cast that includes Rosemary Thomas as Agnes and Gilbert Glenn Brown as Evan.
