Investigative reporter Jack Sharpe is down to his only lead: a phone full of messages from a grad student named Tori who swears she's observed an impossible result in a local election. Then Sharpe learns that the most important tool in any election is the database that keeps track of all voters in a district. If one person were to gain control of an entire party's voter file, they could manipulate the outcome of virtually every election in America. The more he digs, the more Sharpe is forced to question the values of the country he loves and a president he admired.
