Short description
Humor rules the day in this non - political, Washington D.C based story. The funny, bizarre friendship between Devin and his best friend Robin, with her long list of phobias, will crack you up from start to finish. Individually, each of them don't stand much of a chance in their whirlwind worlds. Together, they are a force of nature no one could have envisioned...
Out of the blue, Devin Briar gets a press relations job offer from a Cabinet Secretary. When he arrives in Washington D.C. his life takes a turn toward the surreal. Promotions at work seem to be driven by innuendo as much as circumstance, and suddenly he's on the radar of the entire Executive Branch of the government.

A Nobel Prize winning Physicist, she uses every tool at her disposal to save Devin from being ground into dust by the world around him. Unknown to Devin, a group of movers 'n shakers in the media and government have decided he's their guy.

Review by:
Sarah Derengowski
on Dec. 10, 2012 :
Devin Briar is a fast paced political comedy.
Devin, the young charismatic politician, and his wonderfully weird roommate, Robin, a nobel peace prize winning physicist, join forces with Devin's new staff to combat dark forces at work within the senate.
This is at times laugh out loud funny and very entertaining with great characters.
I would definitely recommend this.
