Times are hard for America's newest First Lady. Bedeviled by rumors of infidelity, her husband faces a tough reelection campaign - and a rocky marriage. Their teenage daughter is collapsing under the strain of nonstop media attention - and developing an unhealthy obsession with her parents' most outspoken enemy, a charismatic radio personality with a private grudge against the First Lady. But, tough as things are, worse is yet to come. The First Lady finds her marriage, her political fortunes, and her very freedom at stake when an old college friend is found shot under mysterious circumstances.
