Brad Newcomb believes he is destined to be President of the United States – and he has the ego to back it up. No one is going to stand in his way. When he has an affair with a member of his campaign staff and gets her pregnant, there is nothing he won't do to fulfill his destiny – including murder.

Brad's younger brother, Ryan, has always idolized his older brother. But as a journalist accompanying Brad on the campaign trail, Ryan begins to unearth the dark secrets in his brother's life.

As the murder investigation unfolds, Ryan stays one step ahead of the FBI. When he discovers his brother's involvement, he faces a monumental decision that could determine the fate of the entire country: bury the truth and see a murderer elected president or destroy his brother's life.
