"I want everyone from Research to stop what they are doing and find out everything there is to know about Ryan Turner. Legal career. Personal life. Everything!" An unexpected death creates a vacancy on the Supreme Court. The choice of a brilliant, but flawed nominee stuns the country and triggers a political storm that destroys everything in its path. What begins as a political fight over a Supreme Court nomination between well-funded interest groups soon escalates into a political death match between the nation's two most powerful politicians. As 21st Century technology and a twenty-four hour news cycle become lethal tools in the political black art of character assassination, nothing is considered "off-limits". In this political version of "kill or be killed" surrender is not an option and almost everyone has their price in the quest for the best justice money can buy. From the hallowed chambers of the Supreme Court, to the marble walls of the United States Senate, to the expensive cocktail parties of Washington D.C., ruthless ambition and money create a combustible mix in a struggle for power that will not only determine the future of the Supreme Court, but also the political survival of a President.
