The vice president of the United States is conflicted. She has
risen to her current job by jumping on the bandwagon with President
Andrew Freeman, who is now waging war against America's biggest
enemy-Iran. Amy Roosevelt must make a decision whether to stay with Freeman
or challenge him for the nomination. Through back channels, she
learns that the president's health is declining. As Roosevelt ponders
her decision, a conservative backbench congressman from Missouri
breaks out of the wannabes in the other party and also decides to run. All this plays out as the man known only as Ishmael continues his
campaign of violence.
