Senator Herb Benjamin, a tireless leader of his Republican Party and the people of Pennsylvania, seems destined for greatness when death comes calling sooner than expected. As Republican leaders vie for the late senators coveted seat, his son, Clark, is appointed by the governor to fill the remaining two years of his fathers term. But there is only one problem: Clark is a moderate Republican who is stubbornly focused on staking out his own course, much to the displeasure of his partys leaders.
The current Democratic presidents legacy is being tarnished by his refusal to commit to a military response to the presumed assassination of the Israeli prime minister. Vice President Carolyn Meadows is front runner for the next presidential election until her candidacy is jeopardized by her support of the presidents unpopular foreign policy stance. As politicians pay the price for not following the orthodoxies of their respective parties, the presidential campaign becomes overrun by blackmail tactics as Clark Benjamin quietly begins to plant the seeds of an innovative idea.
In this gripping political tale, partisan gridlock spells trouble for both Republicans and Democrats as politicians from both parties rebel against their leaders and leave the door open for radical change.
