In a time of political crisis and a scandal in the White House, a high-level political advisor finds himself in a bind. To divert attention from the president's personal scandal, he decides to hire a skilled Hollywood film producer. Together, they devise a bold and somewhat absurd plan: to create a fake war in a fictional country to make the public and the media focus on the conflict instead of the scandal.

As the producer and the advisor work on their extravagant project, they start recruiting actors and generating a series of media events that simulate an imminent war. The construction of the narrative becomes increasingly elaborate, filled with dark humor and twists that showcase how manipulative politics can be. Hollywood tricks intertwine with reality, making the public question what is true and what is pure fiction.

Meanwhile, the consequences of this covert operation begin to overflow, leading to a dangerous game where the lines between media manipulation and reality blur. It quickly turns into a cat-and-mouse game, where the existence of a "war" becomes the center of the spectacle, dragging everyone involved into a whirlwind of madness and unexpected revelations.
