Synopsis

New York, New York: A new candidate for mayor has thrown his sword into the ring. Arthur - as in King Arthur - has reappeared after 1500 years to try and take over the helm of the new millennium's Camelot: New York City. A born leader, with good looks and charisma, Arthur is sure to give the current batch of candidates some tough competition for the spotlight - especially with the help of his close advisor, Merlin. Yet, the Arthurian camp is no stranger to scandal. Unless Arthur can keep his sorceress of a half-sister, Morgan Le Fey, and his less-than-legitimate heir, her son Mordred, under control - and out of the gossip columns - he risks alienating a huge chunk of his constituency. With mroe questions than answers surrounding his candidacy, expect Arthur to take to the streets of the five boroughs in a grassroots campaign for votes. It wouldn't be the first time that New Yorkers have thrown their support behind an outsider. And if Arthur can make it there, he can make it anywhere...
