En 1953, Hugh Hefner lançait le magazine pour homme Playboy, devenant ainsi le porte-étendard de la révolution sexuelle. Le succès du premier numéro est alors instantané. Aujourd'hui, le fondateur de l'empire Playboy est âgé de 84 ans, et fait réagir partout où il passe avec les plantureuses jeunes femmes qui l'accompagnent. Toutefois, peu de gens savent que par ses actions et par les textes qu'il a accepté de publier dans les pages de son magazine, cet hédoniste rebelle a été un défenseur des droits civils, des droits humains et du premier amendement, laissant à sa façon sa trace dans le grand livre de l'histoire de l'Amérique.

Michigan Governor James Reynolds Pryce (Tom Selleck) is a popular liberal politician who, while running for the office of the President of the United States, finds out to what a great degree his life and career are influenced by the women in his life. As a front-runner for the Democratic Party presidential candidate, Pryce owes the success of his campaign to his manager Lauren Hartman (Laura Linney) and his wife Jennifer (Nancy Travis). Pryce has not yet chosen a vice-presidential running mate and has a hard time making the decision. Senator Parker Gable (Robert Culp) was something of a mentor to Pryce in his early political career, but Gable is a womanizer which makes Pryce uncomfortable with making him the vice-presidential candidate. Nevertheless, Gable's Washington socialite wife Meg (Faye Dunaway) considers Gable to be the best choice and tries to exert pressure over Pryce to make this happen. Pryce's other choices are Senator Mitchell Morris (Bruce McGill), a lobbyist whom Pryce dislikes due to his close ties to Big Business, and Senator Terrence Randall (Bob Gunton), who is disliked by Pryce's shallow Hollywood campaign fundraising manager Shawna Morgan (Teri Hatcher). Being previously sexually involved with Lauren, Meg, and Shawna before marrying Jennifer makes listening to their advice all that much harder for Pryce. All four women are seemingly more intent on exerting control over Pryce and winning their own personal battles against each other rather than honestly trying to help him make the correct political decision.
