Now, seven years after that, William Haney (Dan Aykroyd), Vice President under Kramer, is sitting in the Oval Office and gearing up for his re-election run. But when allegations arise that he took a kickback from a defense contractor (James Rebhorn), Haney has his chief of staff (Bradley Whitford) shift the blame to Kramer.
When Kramer and Douglas, who was sent by the DNC chairman (Wilford Brimley) to find out the truth of the allegations, converge on the contractor at the same time, they arrive at just the right moment to see him murdered.
After narrowly surviving an attempt on their own lives, the two bitter foes find themselves stranded in the middle of nowhere and forced to work together to uncover the truth before a crazed NSA agent (Everett McGill) can kill them and complete the cover-up.
