Houston attorney Jennifer Spencer, eager to prove herself in the legal profession, tirelessly investigates the suspicious campaign financing of a United States Senate race. She has no idea that she has thrust herself into an international covert operation to illegally fund not only the senate race but also the United States presidential election. Once the campaign manager for a senate candidate accidentally leaks word of the attorney's investigation, Spencer is locked into the game until the end. Sergei Yazkov has been given orders to eliminate Spencer before the conspiracy can be uncovered. A master of disguise, Yazkov kills two men upon his arrival in the United States and diligently adheres to the plans of the Tejano Project, a plan to put more guns into the hands of citizens worldwide. Yazkov easily gets into the proper arenas leading him toward the completion of his assignment. Shortly after Yazkov commits his first two murders in the United States, Texas Ranger Juan Falcone is on the trail of the Russian mafia agent. Falcone carefully works his case as Spencer continues her search. As they progress, an intricate web of deception is woven, bringing the idealistic Spencer face-to-face with death and real-world politics.
