Story: | 
When long-term congressman Cam Brady (Will Ferrell) commits a major public 
gaffe before an upcoming election, a pair of ultra-wealthy CEOs plot to put up a 
rival candidate and gain influence over their North Carolina district. Their man: 
naive Marty Huggins (Zach Galifianakis), director of the local Tourism Centre. At 
first, Marty appears to be the unlikeliest possible choice but, with the help of his 
new benefactors' support, a cutthroat campaign manager and his family's 
political connections, he soon becomes a contender who gives the charismatic 
Cam plenty to worry about. As Election Day closes in, the two are locked in a 
dead heat, with insults quickly escalating to injury until all they care about is 
burying each other.
