Roger Sheehan leads a treacherous path to the highest seat in the nation. A top-secret CIA operation is underway in the south of France. The construction plans for an ultramodern nuclear reactor are stored on a flash drive, which falls into the hands of an American senator. CIA hitmen are closing in on Paul Bradley, but the flash drive is up for sale to the highest bidder. The situation reaches a climax on twisted metal 380 feet high at a resort on a Caribbean island. Marianne Sheehan stands at the threshold of Washington's world power holders. Deception and distrust hang over the capital, turning its once bright image dark and gray.
