Seven tense days are a count down to destiny for United States presidential candidate Nathan Sundiata Perry and his mother, Dr. Olivia Perry, history professor emeritus. The political forces that have worked for and against Nathan shrink before the might of another power, a force that has coursed through the Perry lineage for four generations, leaving destruction in its wake. Popular, attractive, and charismatic, Congressman Perry is pitted against an "opponent" that he cannot analyze, assess, and attack as has been his strategy with past foes. Fighting this adversary turns the light of scrutiny back upon him - and upon those connected with him. The truths revealed demand action before it is too late for Nathan, for his loved ones, and perhaps, for the nation.
