The United States has elected the first female President, who comes from the political establishment inside D.C.’s beltway. Katherine Fontaine and her former Vice President husband bring their dysfunctional personal lives, progressive ideas, and an apologist’s agenda to The Oval Office. While China moves to gather power and a terrorist cell plans to make its mark, Katherine learns the U.S. Congress, as well as the general public, will not go along with her agenda, pushing her to act on her pre-election daydream of seizing control of the world’s most powerful nation. Meanwhile, seeing trouble on the horizon, an unlikely leader emerges in a small Kentucky town as he begins to prepare his neighborhood for the impending crisis.
