But he finds dealing with five-hundred-thirty-five congressmen frustrating, a roadblock in his desire to create a legacy as the greatest president in the country's history. Carlisle befriends Vladimir Petroff, dictator of Russia, fulfilling a campaign promise to develop greater cooperation between the two super powers.

When invited by Petroff to Russia, the shrewd former head of the KGB, provides the President with sexual pleasures, playing upon the weakness of his counterpart. Petroff threatened to release video and photos of the President's indiscretion.

Carlisle finds himself in a compromising position, either cooperating with the Russian dictator. .
