It's November 7th, 1972, and U.S. President Cade Edgewood has just been reelected--and shot-- on live television.
Set from 1951 to 1972, Red, White, and Bleeding chronicles the personal and political life of Cade Edgewood as he starts his senior year of college and pursues the presidency of the United States.
As the son and grandson of two former presidents, Cade has led a life of American luxury and fame. His Ivy-League friends at Alderton University aren't very different-- Maurice Laurens, the son of a former British prime minister; Charlie Hansen, heir to the Alderton fortune; Roxanne Rockefeller, distant relative of the famed oil tycoon, and Drew Hawke, current valedictorian of their class.
But as senior year progresses, Cade begins to suspect his friends are hiding secrets, and when tragedy strikes Alderton, a storm of blackmail, arrests, affairs, and homicide changes their lives forever.
Now, with only minutes left to live, Cade reflects on his life, searching for closure... and a culprit. But is Cade's American dream an American tragedy? Will he be able to identify his assassin in time? Or will the truth die with him, and the consequences of his past triumph for good?
Red, White, and Bleeding is a star-spangled epic of legacy, love, grief, hope, and humanity that celebrates what it truly means to be an American.
