Why do good people often become bad politicians? "Raw Sugar" looks at the career of ambitious young politician, Peter Buckley of Rhode Island. Currently a successful U.S. Congressman, Buckley is focused on running for the Senate. Buckley quickly learns that his ambition may require playing ball with many of the Washington lobbyists he has so vigorously opposed in the past. Soft money and lust soon enter into the equation. Buckley needs money to compete in the upcoming race. The question soon becomes how far the champion of the green movement will go in his desire to reach his goal. Overlooking influence peddling and cronyism may be one matter, but can Buckley turn his head away when murder enters the picture? Peter Buckley is soon to receive an education in power politics he did not expect. But will he learn his lessons and fall into step before he is placed between the cross hairs? "Raw Sugar" goes deep behind today's headlines and delves into issues most media won't discuss.
