What starts out as a routine assignment for professor Steven Kaye becomes a race to survive and find a new sense of direction.

Kaye is enjoying country club life in Florida when his son Ross volunteers him as the chauffeur to presidential candidate Senator Dallas Dunn. During a weekend of political rallies, fundraisers and a presidential debate, Kaye must think on his feet to protect the senator and himself from evil forces.

Recent national events prompt Dunn to make a bold speech about securing America’s borders, triggering attempts by his many detractors to sabotage his candidacy. Due to a highly charged political landscape, various factions adopt strategies that call for the senator’s demise.

A Mexican druglord, a Vietnam vet, a distressed defense contractor, a handsome cartel henchman, and former members of the Bulgarian Secret Police all stand in the way as the senator tries one last time to secure his party’s nomination.
