Plot

In the pulsating heart of Washington DC, Sunny Davis, a thirty-five-year-old cocktail waitress with a heart of gold but little interest in the political arena, weaves a simple life at Lou Fox's Safari Club. Carrying an air of innocence and ignorance about government affairs, Sunny's life takes an unexpected turn when she courageously thwarts an assassination attempt on Emir Majid of Othar, a visiting Middle Eastern dignitary, receiving a minor bullet wound and the nation's admiration in the process. Seeing an opportunity to leverage Sunny's newfound popularity, the State Department, under the cunning eye of Ambassador St. John, recruits her into the intriguing world of Protocol. Here, she unexpectedly finds love with the charismatic Michael Ransome, the State Department's Middle Eastern chief. Despite Sunny's naive blunders causing waves of potential public relations crises, the State Department keeps her on board. As Sunny navigates her new role, she remains blissfully ignorant of the ulterior motives that lie beneath the State Department's decision to retain her. The stakes are high, as her role is intrinsically linked with strategic negotiations with Emir and Ohtar. Unaware of the political chess game she has become a part of, Sunny's perception of her job, the State Department, and her budding romance with Michael may drastically shift should she discover the truth. Will her feelings endure if she finds out about the 'contact mission' to Ohtar, a mission that could stir a revolution? More importantly, if Michael was aware of the deceptive plot all along, will Sunny's affections withstand the betrayal, and will she survive her diplomatic work in the rebel-ridden Ohtar? Protocol (1984) presents a riveting tale of innocence thrust into the world of political intrigue, where love, loyalty, and survival intertwine in the most unexpected ways.
