King of Fools paints a razor-sharp and darkly comic portrait of contemporary politics as a machine that produces its own victims—and its own useful idiots. As the presidential election approaches, a desperate and failing political party selects a convenient fall guy to embody the coming disaster. Their plan? Promote a decoy candidate internally, while secretly backing an outsider meant to triumph. But their chosen fool—a simple driver named Patrick White—turns out to be far less predictable than expected… and so do the voters.
