Wave Makers Plot

Amidst heated elections, a team of campaigners try to last in the competitive section of society and make their candidates win. However, it is not that easy, as everyone in the sector is hungry for success and incredibly self-centred. The people part of the circle are very less helpful and will not offer assistance to anyone that will not benefit them.

In the trailer, the show will mainly follow a woman working for a political leader who does everything in her power to make the candidate win. However, she is met with multiple hurdles along the way as her opponents try to bring her down through any means possible. But she is headstrong and is determined to reach her goal through any means possible. She is supported by her team, and they together solve any problems that are thrown at them.

The main struggle will be between two leading parties searching for a leader that can persuade the public and bring them to ultimate power. During the search for a suitable candidate, they come across a woman with completely different thoughts and beliefs than the current political system. But it is the job of the team to convince her to be part of their party. It will be interesting to witness how the story will evolve and lead to changes that will affect the characters greatly.
