He's America's most brilliant president ever. He's also a psychopath. US president Keegan
Barrett swept into office on his success as director of the CIA. Six months into his first term
he devises a clandestine power grab with a deadly motive: Revenge. President Barrett
personally orders Special Agents Liam Grey and Noa Himel to execute his plan but their
loyalties are divided. As CIA agents they've sworn to support and defend the Constitution of
the United States against all threats both foreign and domestic. When the threat comes
directly from the Oval Office that's where the blowback begins.
