When a deadly wave of Coronavirus disables most of the United States and his wife, the workaholic President must retreat to a secluded area and raise his six-year-old son alone while guiding the entire nation. In the process he learns that the former task may be harder than the latter.

I'm sure she's a great PM!
.... but I need a hero who is a lousy parent, and at first an incompetent President (a-hem) who learns to be a better President of his nation by being a better parent.

I hear what you're saying about "tumultuous..."

Intention: raise six year old son. (This is interesting. One of the few times I think you could go in with a subjective/emotional through-line because the hook is strong enough.)
Obstacle: guiding a nation.

When he is put in isolation following a deadly pandemic, the president must raise his estranged six-year-old son, all whilst guiding a nation in strife.

- I used “estranged” instead of “tumultuous” (which perhaps would work better?)
- Should be innate that he’s raising his son by himself.
- The concept is certainly unique and familiar.
