A nation in crisis. A president of division. A deadlocked Congress. The United States is on the brink of civil war—again. Only a courageous federal whistle blower, an ordinary Texan and a governor who won't tolerate the shredding of the Constitution can thwart an evil conspiracy by the federal government. 

President Tyrell Johnson, the first fully black president, is riding a renewed wave of popularity as he runs for his second term. He wins re-election, based largely on an "October Surprise." An assassination attempt on Johnson creates the perfect scapegoat—the Tea Party—through a deceit so well disguised that it comes dangerously close to succeeding. 

But, like patriots before them, some won't stand for it. Some will become Patriots of Treason!
