1932. The Presidential election is in full swing.

Private eye Lazarus Flynn is hired by a wealthy political donor to find his missing brilliant but unstable eighteen-year-old daughter.

When Flynn locates the girl, it turns out she has a fantastic story to tell: her powerful father is behind a plot to collapse the country's currency after FDR's expected election.

Is the daughter delusional, as her father warned or is the threat real?

Assisted by Tracy Kincaid, a cub reporter for the Washington Post, Flynn is determined to learn the answer in a journey that leads him to the dark hearts of both father and daughter.
