In an age of open racism, fervent nationalism and anti-establishment passion, two politically engaged and
idealistic young lovers, Marcus Hill and Jas Mitra, fight back against the injustice and deep - rooted prejudice they face on a daily basis.
What Jerry now has going for him is that single mum bookkeeper Dorothy Boyd (Zellweger), with her
young son (Jonathan Lipnicki), has slavishly fallen in love with him over his
idealistic decision and is willing to go the extra-mile to support her
lover boy as she quits her steady job with the agency to be his entire office staff — she even takes it upon herself to apologize for his mistakes, and they get married.
