The First Family is hosting their first Easter Egg Roll on the South Lawn of the White House when Secret Service agents mobilize to hustle them to safety. First Lady Samantha Cappuano wants to know where her children have been taken while President Nick Cappuano mobilizes his team to learn more about the threat that caused such a dramatic response.
Meanwhile, Sam’s homicide detectives at the Metropolitan Police Department are in the earliest stages of investigating three new murders of people struck down for no apparent reason as IT Lieutenant Archelotta cares for a new friend who was similarly attacked. One by one, the clues begin to add up to a disturbing conclusion that has Sam racing to put the pieces together before it’s too late. Adding to the chaos, she’s now accompanied by a much larger Secret Service detail.
As if that wasn’t enough for one week, a troubling incident from the past resurfaces and has Sam on defense, defending her career and reputation from a ruthless attack. An aura of retribution is in the air, but who’s behind it, and could the perpetrator be someone she—or Nick—have tangled with in the past?
Sam, Nick and the First Family cast face one vexing challenge after another, leading up to an explosive showdown that could change everything.
