Still reeling from his impressive investigative work in Beaumont, Colo., Chase is now in Washington, D.C., working for the New York Times when he gets a phone call.

The phone call is from the real vice president claiming that the one who was just sworn in as president is an imposter. Chase finds himself -- and his wife -- caught in the crossfire again.
