George H.W. Bush becomes a loyal vice president to Ronald Reagan, but his wife Barbara falls out with First Lady Nancy; George W. commits to a life of sobriety while becoming the father of twin daughters.
The Bushes have finally made it to the White House, but having a father as a president hits Neil Bush hard when scandals strike. George HW triumphs against Saddam, and the Bush family suffers a bitter election defeat and the loss of their matriarch.
George W and Jeb are both determined to make it to the governor's mansion. Laura Bush fears the consequences of having a second president in the family, and President Bush faces his greatest test as America is under attack.
President George W Bush strives to secure the second term his father never won, although the war in Iraq defines his presidency and casts a long shadow on the Bush family.
