In the midst of a complex political landscape, the world of a promising Tufton Street lobbyist comes crashing down when powerful figures demand he help cover up the scandal of the century. The catch: he has no memory of the unscrupulous dossiers that bear his name, or the choices that put him in their crosshairs.

As his repressed complicity surfaces, Hutton finds himself caught between shadowy puppet masters, manipulative colleagues he once called friends, and a life he dedicated to work that may have cost him his sanity. Beaten into submission and threatened with death, he has no choice but to become complicit, sending him on a soul-seeking pilgrimage to reclaim his spiritual connection with water, and the Earth itself.
