Secret Service agent Sally Grissom knows something is wrong when the President calls her to a private meeting with no witnesses present. The President and his Chief of Staff hand her an impossible assignment: find the missing First Lady, but tell no one she's gone. The First Lady vanished after the President's affair became public scandal. At first, Grissom assumes she's hiding at a Virginia horse farm, nursing her wounds and avoiding reporters. The case turns deadly when a ransom note arrives at the White House. Attached to the note is the First Lady's severed finger. Grissom must navigate White House secrets and presidential lies while racing against time. The investigation forces her to question everything she thought she knew about the people she's sworn to protect.
