Dry Creek, Texas thinks it has found the cure for political chaos: a shiny courthouse-lawn plaque listing the Ten Political Commandments—a bipartisan “decency” reset meant to calm the town down.
Instead, the plaque lights the match.

As the Civic Guardrails Committee spirals into public minutes, “spiritually nonbinding” amendments, and loyalty tests, Reese Whitaker, editor of the Dry Creek Ledger, realizes the town’s newest obsession isn’t unity—it’s control. And control comes with a business model: influencer outrage, “verified” smears, manufactured witnesses, and a soothing new system called CivicCalm that promises peace while quietly shaping what the town is allowed to believe.

When Reese and her deputy, Owen, start pulling the money thread, the machine strikes back fast—turning rumor into “truth,” and truth into a threat. But paper trails don’t care about parties. And in Dry Creek, the one thing louder than ideology is a public invoice with a signature at the bottom.

A sharp, funny, high-speed small-town political satire about how “decency” gets weaponized, how narratives get laundered, and why the people selling calm are often the ones profiting from the chaos.
