Rich and Jade Chance have barely recovered from their Middle East adventure when they find themselves guests at the White House. Their father works to track down stolen nuclear missiles in China while the twins finally get to enjoy their promised Washington visit. The relaxation ends abruptly when assassins target the President they previously rescued. The White House becomes a fortress under siege as the Chance twins fight to protect the commander in chief. Rich and Jade must navigate the corridors of power turned battlefield, using every skill they possess to stop another assassination attempt. The stakes climb beyond one man's life as the attack threatens to trigger a global conflict. The twins discover that saving the President means preventing World War III, all while trapped inside the most secure building in America. Their teenage years have prepared them for danger, but nothing quite like a siege at the heart of American power.
