Years ago, Joe Davis, humor blogger and low-grade celebrity, fell in love with Lisa Cleary. The last thing he expected was that Lisa, now a nationally renowned investigative reporter, would come back into his life. Or that they would be chasing the story of a lifetime.
When their high school friend Rick disappears right after claiming to have information on the U.S. Senator he works for, Joe and Lisa team up to both find Rick and discover the true nature of the information. The Senator, who is harboring presidential ambitions, and his ruthless campaign manager don't take kindly to the investigation. Soon, Joe and Lisa realize they may be in danger of disappearing themselves.
The trail grows deadly as Joe and Lisa duck multiple attempts on their lives, all while trying to piece together disparate deadly events: the death of a small-time newspaper reporter, the death of a high-level staff member, the disappearance of their friend. How do these events tie together? Are they related to a long-dead assassin? Is there a cover up? To what lengths will those in power go to cover the truth?
It's the story of a lifetime...if they live long enough to tell it.
