Synopsis:

America is in the midst of a hotly contested presidential election. On the eve of the conventions, one party has two candidates who are hopelessly deadlocked. Fortunately, there is one remaining uncommitted delegate. The delegate, however -- an old lady with environmental concerns -- happens to reside in the village of Talafofo on the island of Guam. With a typhoon of historic proportion approaching, the two desperate candidates converge on the old lady’s home to vie for her support.
