The murder is scheduled to take place at a sporting event, and it is to be carried out by one of the participants. Archuleto finds himself in the dizzying position of betraying the people who provide his lucrative lifestyle to save the life of a man that bullied him in high school. Adding to the stakes are his wife and four-year-old son, along with his reputation for discretion in all matters of the criminal world. Artimus Ray Rothschild is a senator from New York who has no idea that his son Draymont is in danger from the very group that he founded.

This mysterious character operates in the undercurrents of society, plotting modern conquests and a continuation of the antiquated American Manifest Destiny. When gravity begins towing these characters into the paths of one another, it is anyone's guess as to whether they will survive the riptides and psychological fallout.
