After learning of Vice President Evans' mysterious hospitalization while President Stillman remains stranded in Rome, Bennett is summoned to a secretive meeting with Speaker Hendricks and other high-ranking officials. There, he discovers they're planning what they call a "constitutional course correction" in response to a supposed leadership vacuum. When Pantheon announces a massive "Course Correction Day" event to coincide with the military parade celebrating the Army's 250th anniversary, Bennett realizes his TV show has become the perfect cover for something far more sinister. As Pantheon-branded military vehicles take suspicious positions around Washington, Bennett finds himself implicated in a conspiracy he never agreed to join, reaching a point where he must either become complicit or risk everything to expose the truth.
