"Power and blackmail collide at the top"
When the British Prime Minister's husband is kidnapped abroad, she's told he'll die unless she resigns, just as a diplomatic summit with the French President spirals into its own private blackmail scandal.

It's glossy, twisty, and unapologetically soapy in its escalation, more interested in momentum and moral compromise than procedural realism.
