After Mayor Delaney is exposed in a corruption scandal, Cleveland is thrown into political freefall. With the city divided and power up for grabs, former mayor Katherine Jordan sees an opportunity to reclaim her influence—by positioning her youngest son, Monti, as the next mayoral candidate. But Monti, a brilliant strategist with street credibility and Ivy League polish, wants nothing to do with politics.
As public pressure mounts, Monti is forced into the race—but he’s hiding a devastating secret that, if exposed, could destroy his career before it even begins. Meanwhile, his older brother CJ, who has deep ties to the streets, warns Monti that he’s being used as a pawn in their mother’s game.
