Working as assistant principal at a public high school in suburban New Jersey, Tracy Flick gets a jolt of good news when the longtime principal abruptly announces his retirement. Energized by the prospect of her long-overdue promotion, Tracy throws herself into her work while also managing her personal life—a ten-year-old daughter, a needy doctor boyfriend, and a burgeoning meditation practice. In this darkly humorous sequel to 1998's Election, however, Tracy will face stiff opposition in her quest to be principal—some of it real, and some possibly imagined.
