But he's also the employee of the Kitteredges, a secretive New England banking family that knows how to make the embarrassing problems of its most powerful clients disappear. When Allie Chase-the troubled daughter of a U.S. senator and presidential hopeful-falls into drug use and runs away to England, the Kitteredge family calls on Carey to track her down.
