But when she tells him that she wants to use their cut of his father’s fortune to start an organization to help recovering alcoholics rebuild their lives, he rejects the idea, convinced that it will jeopardize his chances at being elected governor of Ohio. When a blackmailer demanding ten million dollars threatens to expose photos from the accident, Eric must decide whether he will stand up for the truth his father taught him or sell his soul for public office.The Playboy
