|summary=Everything in Dr Paul Allen's life speaks of perfection: beautiful, efficient second wife, great second family, rewarding, prospering career. Then the FBI knocks on the door. The favourite candidate for the US presidency has been assassinated and they think that Paul's son has pulled the trigger.

}}

Dr Paul Allen is more than happy with his life. His second wife, Fran, is efficient, a good manager, a good mother to their young twins and not overly emotional as Ellen (Wife No. 1) was. In fact you could say that his life runs like clockwork, which is just how he likes it. Paul hates chaos and the unexpected, but he's about to be visited by both. As the Allens sit in horror watching news footage of the charismatic presidential front-runner being gunned down, there's a knock at the door. Their real horror is beginning; the FBI believes the son he had with Ellen is the guy who pulled the trigger.
