In Egyptian society, money and fame can get you places and can also get you out of places. On a feel to run for parliament Morgan's children dare him to go back to school to get a college degree to prove and make him comprehend that money and power are not man's savior. His opponent in Parliament is ironically a Female "Dr. Jihan Mourad," a college professor and a Liberal! What happens when his own children are routing for his opponent?

Or will his old ways prevail? Corruption is a worldwide plague, but in Egypt - with Morgan - corruption is an art... one that he has mastered!
