One overheated, politically charged autumn afternoon in 2017, as an autocrat's punitive federal budget and illegal travel ban stand poised to take effect, a journalist researching a railroad piece meets a dead ringer for her lifelong hero in Washington D.C.
Now, he needs a favor - an escort to a certain California bridge to complete an unknown mission - and she must decide whether to serve as his guide...regardless of the consequences.
