This satire takes a hard look at the tobacco industry, and all the intrigue and political machinations around smoking. The lead is a spokesman for a tobacco company, and it's his job to put a positive spin on everything so that cigarettes come out blameless, no matter who dies. His young son tags along with him on a trip around the country, and dad finds himself in the delicate position of promoting a product while at the same time protecting his kid from it.
