Cyrus Beene was a political animal from day one. You’d think all those campaigns—all that salesmanship and back-door dealings—would make him jaded and cynical. It hasn’t. Cyrus is a true believer. A believer in the promise of America, in the political process and most of all in people like President Grant and Olivia Pope. To be caught between the people he loves most and to have to do his best for what he believes is right for the country will test every political skill Cyrus has acquired and make him question his allegiance to all he holds dear.
