Paul Brown is our newly-elected president....and he's about to find himself in serious trouble. Organized shortly before the Civil War, and using the assassination of a sitting president as their spark, The Brotherhood has manipulated every earth-shattering political and economic event in the history of the United States since 1865. For more than a century, America has been controlled by this dangerous group of wealthy and powerful men who live among us, but operate in secret. Paul doesn't know that stockpiles of deadly U.S.-made chemical weapons are being shipped out of the country to destinations unknown. He doesn't know that his son works for the corrupt, money-laundering law firm handling the sales of those weapons. And even worse, he doesn't know his election was rigged. In his first 100 days, Paul Brown finds out that being the president will ultimately cost him more than he expected. Battling The Brotherhood, Paul takes us on a roller coaster of emotion; loses and reconnects with his family; and comes to grips with the pressures, political games and corruption that lie behind the Presidential Seal.
