Karaoke. Brightly colored shirts. "I Voted" stickers. Prank wars and scavenger hunts. These defined the young lives of Mike and David.

They were students like any others: they rushed a fraternity, went to parties, and sometimes even went to class. Yet, they were unlikely best friends. Mike was the quiet, modest, lovesick writer. David was the popular, easy-going, and confident soccer player.

But only one of them was destined to be a U.S. Senator.
