It is an arms negotiations deal that threatens to violate the armistice treaties of allies within the United Nations and the lives of America's future generations. Wallace contends to the American people that the money received from the confiscated drugs, received via the Mafioso, will be utilized to help fund the Space Exploration Program. When in reality, Wallace is using a large majority of the money to fund his own scandal with the Lithuanians. He vows to stay ahead of other countries in the innovative world of sophisticated military weaponry.

In steps Dana Filmore. She is a beautiful, sharp, well-educated African-American woman whom accidentally discovers Wallace's evil ploy to gain these weaponry's. She is also the country's first black Secretary of State. Dana must weigh between her loyalty to the President or the ethic's within herself to do the right thing. The world of future generations are within the fate of her decision to act upon the dilemma. Should she risk telling someone of the President's secret arms negotiations or should she simply remain silent and let her conscience scar her for life.

It is a win-lose situation in which each answer to the decision decided proves to be a deadly one. Dana eventually resorts the aid District Attorney Kasi Martin,( a tall, dark, and handsome African-American man) and entrusts her confidence in him. With Martin by her side, the two set out to gain incriminating evidence that could tie Wallace to the forbidden crime and restore Dana's conscience.

In their ill fate, the two men were, also, found overdosed.

To Chief Inspector Williams, the deaths sound rather questioning. If the men were destined for sure death due to overdose, why would anyone wish to exterminate them execution style.

In Dana and Kasi's quest to unravel the mystery of a perfect and dying democratic system, the chance of passion and new found love evolves, softening the blow to the truth about our nation's troubled governmental system.
