August 7, 2008, Naples, Florida - "Change" in this historic election year can't come fast enough for 58 year-old disgraced financial fraud investigator Rainey McDermott. His own stock portfolio on life support, he's desperate for money, power and prestige he's certain holds the key to his redemption. But when he accepts a promising invitation to a gala at the home of one of the community's most influential couples, he soon discovers it is the prelude to blackmail. What follows is a harrowing journey of self-discovery that will unmask the central lie of his life as he plunges into the dark swamp of international money laundering and a multi-million dollar securities scam. With the FBI breathing down his neck, Rainey vows to follow his conscience, unaware his decision is about to pit his tarnished values against an obsessed seductress who knows just how to dispose of the evidence.
