Shadowy figures emerge from the capital's power corridors, and Jack realizes his father's appointment has made their family a target. The Miami attorney must navigate treacherous political waters where allies and enemies wear the same faces. As threats escalate and conspiracies deepen, Jack fights to protect his father while uncovering the truth behind the Vice President's death.
