==Premise==
The series featured the trials of Nellie Gordon, a single mother paramedic who was elected against popular expectations in a federal by-election as the Member of Parliament for East Nova for the New Democratic Party of Canada. As a new backbencher MP, she has to learn the Byzantine intricacies of federal Canadian politics, which is complicated with her frank outspoken Maritime perspective. Furthermore, her family life is a further hurdle, with her son and mother reluctant to accept her government responsibilities. However, she finds an unexpected friend in Herb Proctor, a Conservative backbencher from an Alberta riding who is often one of Nellie's most supportive allies in Ottawa despite their differing party allegiances and occasional conflicts.
Wendy Lill served as a two-term MP for Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, although she says that the series was not literally based on her own experience.
