Barron Childress is a former investigator with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. Tired of the dangers of undercover work, his skills find a new use doing opposition research - background investigations for a North Carolina Senator who has designs on the White House. Most cops would love to have his Rolodex...and his ability to get people to say more than they planned.
Ben Pippin is a former college fraternity brother who just happens to be doing opposition research for a different Presidential candidate. But just who is the opposition?
Amy Rose is a newspaper writer who has designs on Barron...and her career.
Bill Sarden works in the elections office for the Florida Secretary of State. The last thing he wants is another hanging chad and bungled vote.
Now for the candidates:
Florida Senator Elizabeth Ressler - she would be nothing without lobbyists and Botox.
Senator Richard Olenson of Wisconsin - who has more secrets: the Senator, is his wife?
Senator Robert Strongwell of North Carolina - Barron works for him, but who's calling the shots, and who has the biggest secrets to hide?
Lawrence Whitlock - no title, but always a power broker.
Congressman Oscar Suarez - could he be as clean and honest as he looks?
Franklin Jefferson of Detroit - Decorated marine turned mayor, and one of the few African-American Republican office holders. He knows who his friends are.
