It is 1806; a powerful and criminal secret society has almost complete control over many of the elected officials, international finance, and commerce in the young nation. Its leaders arrange for a dissident to be brutally murdered and left floating in the Potomac River so that the body surfaces within clear site of Thomas Jefferson&#39;s White House. <br><br>This criminal act is intended to send a message to the President and all those around him: &#39;the society&#39;s power should know no limit &ndash; elected officials &ndash; including the president &ndash; must acknowledge and support us, allow us to do whatever we want, when and wherever we choose, or suffer the consequences&#39;. <br><br>Almost two hundred years later, after discovering a hidden diary written by someone who lived in the White House during that time, a small group of college students and a world class computer hacker learn all there is to know about this particular crime… the identity of the victim and what, if anything, Jefferson did about it? They also learn all about the secret society. By digging into this two hundred year old crime the students attract the attention of the modern day version of the secret society. <br><br>The current leader threatens the student&#39;s very existence – but rather than retreat, the students decide to fight back.<br><br>
