Nádejného politika Davida Norrisa stretávame v deň, ktorý mu môže zmeniť život. Kandidát do amerického Senátu sa už o chvíľu dozvie výsledky volieb. Prvé prognózy nie sú veľmi priaznivé, a tak si odíde na pánske toalety precvičiť „príhovor porazeného finalistu“. Na mieste, kde by málokto čakal ženu, natrafí na krásnu Elise a zasiahne ho príznačná láska na prvý pohľad. Mohla by to byť náplasť na politický neúspech, lenže David stratí jej telefónne číslo. Keď sa už vzdá nádeje, že by ju mohol ešte niekedy stretnúť, natrafí na ňu náhodou v autobuse. Tejto šance sa už nepustí. Myslí si to do chvíle, kým stretne Správcov osudu. Táto organizácia riadi život každého z nás a Davidovi naplánovala kariéru, ktorá sa končí možno až v Oválnej pracovni Bieleho domu. Lenže to by musel nechať Elise na pokoji a to David nechce. Nie je to však otázka chcenia. Správcovia osudu nalinkovali celý Davidov život a aj tú najmenšiu odchýlku sú pripravení zlikvidovať už v jej zárodku.
