Blake Pellarin is running for Governor of Missouri, but his real goal is to become president. When a dark shadow from his past threatens to expose a guarded family secret, Blake plots to placate his blackmailer by stealing his wife's jewels. However, an ambitious reporter and an overzealous campaign bodyguard, both privy to Pellarin's problems, have concocted plans of their own to exploit the aspiring Governor's conundrum for their own advantage.
