Is the president of the United States a charismatic leader before the cameras, and a monstrous wife abuser at home?When she was growing up in rural Oklahoma, Sabrina Ryan's mother used to tell her, "Watch out what you wish for, because it might come true." Now, as wife of the President-Elect of the United States, Sabrina has reason to remember that warning. After years of being abused, Sabrina hopes and prays that the election of her husband as the next President will take his mind off of her and onto the job of running the nation. Sadly and tragically, assuming the mantle of leader of the free world has had the opposite effect on Turner Ryan. As the mental and physical abuse spills into the White House, the First Lady turns in desperation to Duncan Smith, the President's Press Secretary, for help and maybe something more.In an effort to protect herself and her young daughter, Sabrina involves Duncan in a scenario for which he is entirely unprepared, and which ultimately thrusts the two of them into an unwitting love triangle. Their relationship is soon discovered and betrayed by a very ambitious Vice President, who uses it as fodder in a blackmail scheme designed to destroy Turner Ryan's presidency. Little does the Vice-President realize that he has just set in motion a series of events from which the government and nation will need years to recover.
