The name and network could lead you to believe the show could be a suspenseful political drama; but I’m here to tell you , that’s far from the case.

In doing so Courtney indirectly shows the community that his raw yet genuine personality is needed to benefit the community. With the help of family, friends, and the community, Courtney faces the task of transforming his hometown from what it is into a place he can truly be proud of. This whole concept is unique to what we’re used to television nowadays.The components and dynamic of the series make it easy to relate to for array of viewers.
