President Madeline “Maddy” Wright and her husband, Cole, pull up in the Presidential motorcade to a courthouse in Brentwood, New Hampshire. There are protestors outside. Cole worries about what the jury will decide.
Outside the courthouse, investigator Brea Cooke sees a former colleague of hers, Ron Reynolds. They are both there to cover the events of the first gentleman’s trial for murder.
