About This Game

Soft Money


Eight weeks from Election Day, Wells Ashford is a senior associate at Meridian Strategies, a boutique political consultancy near Dupont Circle that prides itself on being effective, discreet, and proudly amoral. Handed three dossiers designed as a quiet stress test, Wells is sent to negotiate with three women at three ideological extremes. Each route begins as a "professional" meeting and becomes something else—romance as leverage, intimacy as access, ideology as costume. As Wells discovers how easily sex, power, and money convert into one another, the real question stops being who he'll choose… and becomes what the choice will cost.

Meet the Cast




Amira — The Treaty
A registered foreign agent with flawless filings and sharper instincts, Amira treats diplomacy as vocation: morally complex, professionally exact, and never sentimental. She's drawn to Wells because he doesn't pretend his country is cleaner than hers—and because he understands what it means to be competent without being innocent.



Brynn — The Broadcast
The face of the fastest-rising conservative hour in America, Brynn is a performer with real convictions and a ruthless understanding of the camera's appetite. She doesn't need Wells' influence—she wants his recognition: someone who can see the performance and the person underneath without demanding she be only one.



Thea — The Organizer
A tenants' rights leader who built a movement from raw need and relentless work, Thea is the most morally serious person Wells has ever met—and the most trapped by the compromises that keep organizations alive. She doesn't ask Wells to believe the right things; she asks him to answer honestly, then live with the answer.
