This is a drama set in Atlantic City where the political leadership profits from corruption and bootlegging in the time of prohibition and organized crime.

Malaysian politics is just like an orgy. Everyone screws everyone. The only thing is one must be careful though.

But then this sometimes poses a problem when one is not too clear about which one is one’s own partner and which
