David Dashwood is surprisingly elected as Conservative MP at a by-election in marginal Westling-on-Sea. Flushed with success, he is set to go to Westminster with his ideals intact. It is only when he enters the cosseted world of the House of Commons that he finds out he has much to learn, especially from Tory whip Terry Dunning, and realises that he is surrounded by predatory, calculating, devious politicians - and that's just his own party.
