Bill Diffenderffer

As a new President takes office in Washington, the country is reeling from an economy that is approaching depths not seen since the Great Depression. The financial industry is in trouble and the new administration is insisting that the largest banks all participate in the Federal Bailout program. Jace Orren, CEO of one of those banks, doesn't believe his bank needs the bailout and refuses to take it. Under the direction of McMillan, a very powerful behind-the-scenes advisor to the President, the government tries through direct and indirect means to force Jace to go along with the President's plans. In the struggle between this Machiavellian advisor and Jace Orren, the banking, automobile and airline industries all become involved in a battle setting the powers of an intrusive and controlling government against the ideals of free market capitalism.
