Synopsis

In the not-too-distant future, the richest families in the US control everything, both politically and socially. But when the members of the ruling class begin to run amok, who will--who can--rein them in? George Duffet, head of on of the five wealthiest families in the nation and "first guardian" of the private-sector organization that controls the nation's politicians, will certainly try ... follow George as he navigates the intricate relationships between the president, future candidates and the council that monitors them ... and as he chases after his own children--Tom, whose soon-to-be-published book flies in the face of George's political position; Abby, who has grudgingly agreed to an arranged marriage for the sake of her father's business aspirations; and John, whose election to the Senate is threatened by his homosexuality.
