         <description><![CDATA[<div>Peter is in a situation where he must either tell his boss all the information he gets from his close acquaintance Rose, or take the risk of losing his place in the White House. Peter has worked extremely hard for his spot in the White House but has to decide what he ultimately believes in. He ends up risking his job which turns out to be the correct decision as he finds the mole in White House to be his boss. He then fights through all of the people sent to discredit him through his father's past. In the end we learn that rules may not always be in place for the right reasons.</div>]]></description>
