Ethan Carter never aspired to be a player in the dangerous game of politics. He's just a financial analyst who's too good at spotting patterns-too sharp at spotting loopholes. However, one small mistake sees him fail his retest and nearly lose everything. When a mysterious man offers him a second chance, Ethan finds himself caught up in a financial conspiracy bigger than he could have ever imagined. Missing funds, phantom companies, and cunning strategies like a game of chess begin to drag him into a world where one wrong move can lead to death. Behind the curtain of American politics, the truth is not just black and white-and Ethan must choose whether he will be the pawn that is played... or the player who controls the board. In this world, there are only two choices: uncover the truth, or be buried with its secrets.
