On the verge of making history as the first woman to lead the country's biggest professional sports league, a relentlessly ambitious executive finds herself entangled in a murderous global conspiracy that stretches from the oil fields of Saudi Arabia to the Oval Office, and must confront the forces out to destroy her before it's too late.
Rainey Walters is a tireless workaholic obsessed with landing the biggest job in sports. She's poured all her energies into helping Tom Perry, the financially strapped owner of her hometown football team and brother of the U.S. President, secure approval to build a new stadium. Success is within her grasp when her archrival at the Continental Football League, Porter Northrup, introduces Tom to a Saudi billionaire who makes an outrageously exorbitant offer to buy the team and move it to London.
Faced with the possibility of losing the job she covets and the team she loves, Rainey decides to defy her aging and increasingly out-of-touch boss and use every means at her disposal to thwart the sale. Her take-no-prisoners approach upends her marriage, threatens her career, and unwittingly draws her into a massive global conspiracy that stretches far beyond the football field.
With everything she cares about teetering on the edge of the abyss, Rainey must race against the clock to confront the consequences of her actions and powerful enemies who will stop at nothing, including murder, to get what they want.
