Part One

In 1944, Noah Sweeting and Pendleton Oscars work to create a series of propaganda radio programs for the Office of War Information, careful to appease both corporate masters and government officials. Elsewhere, Frank Bergeron, a steel tycoon with a murky history, is gaining traction in his bid to become governor of Illinois when a ghost from his past resurfaces with a campaign of his own. As all four men seek to manipulate public sentiment, their disparate threads collide with thrilling— and deadly— results.
