Pulpits, Power, and the Price of Silence
While the bootleggers ran the backroads of America...
Washington ran the whole game.
Prohibition was supposed to cleanse a nation drowning in vice. But behind the stained-glass windows of D.C.'s most respected churches, and beneath the marble halls of power, another kind of empire was thriving - built not on whiskey, but on permits, pulpits, and the perfect cover: religion.
As permits for "sacramental wine" flow freely to the political elite, one preacher without a platform - Micah Clay - finds himself standing alone against a system so sanctified, most don't even see its corruption.
But Micah isn't alone for long.
A relentless reporter.
A disillusioned clerk.
And a growing remnant of voices too stubborn - or too faithful - to stay silent.
Together, they will expose a conspiracy that stretches from cathedrals to Congress...from communion cups to criminal cartels. But in a city built on secrets, speaking the truth comes with a cost.
Because in Washington, D.C., it was never just about the wine.
It was about control.
It was about silence.
And it was about to shatter.
