When a new administration slashes the ranks of the CIA, former agents Sam and Jerry are left angry, unemployed, and looking for someone to blame. Over drinks and conspiracy theories, they pose a chilling question: if the CIA played a role in the Kennedy assassination, could a rogue group of ex-agents assassinate the current president...and get away with it?

As they build their mock operation, codenamed Cockwomble, they uncover evidence of horrifying abuse of power and a cover-up that reaches the highest levels of government. What started as a thought experiment suddenly becomes all too real.

Now they must decide whether to expose the truth and risk having it buried...or take justice into their own hands.
