Plot Synopsis

This satirical comedy, created by "Doonesbury" writer Garry Trudeau, follows four U.S. Republican Senators, who live together in Alpha House in Washington, D.C., while facing re-election battles, looming indictments, Party pressure, and pressure to party. These four senators and roomies from the right side of aisle -- Gil John Biggs, Robert Bettencourt, Louis Laffer, and Andy Guzman -- struggle to hold onto their core values as they fight for survival among incumbent Republicans first elected in the pre-Tea Party era. On April 19, 2013, Amazon.com released the pilot of ALPHA HOUSE, seven months before the official series premiere, when Amazon released the first three episodes for free with additional episodes available via Prime Instant Video week by week.
