John Fitzgerald Adams, known by the voters who love him as Jack, has good reason to believe he is the illegitimate son of JFK. His goal is the same as that of any Kennedy: to reclaim the presidency...But Jack, up from poverty, cannot make it to the Oval Office without money and support. Luckily, he becomes the beneficiary of the largess of two maverick Russians who recognize Jack's talent and invest considerable resources in his rise to power.

As Jack marches toward the presidency, others who realize the truth about his sinister connections try to stop him. But will anyone believe them?
