The openly gay former star of a "Touched by an Angel"-like TV show gets elected to Congress following the death of a longtime representative. Once there, fish-out-of-water hijinks ensue with his uptight chief of staff, starstruck office manager and an oily fellow congressman who lives in the same apartment building as Charlie.
