Spoilers ahead
Marshal Richard “Dick” Dix is a sharp-witted special detective who plunges into action when a fast-food chain restaurant is seized in a terrorist hostage scenario. His daring rescue, while impressive, earns him the scorn of the city’s police chief, setting up a clash between unconventional bravado and bureaucratic procedure. He heads back to the police station, where his boss is talking with a police worker, Cassandra Menage. She recounts a baffling tale about the cloning of the President of the United States—an unnamed figure who becomes a central, shadowy thread running through the whole investigation.
