VCU professor Caden Cole, on sabbatical in Washington state to research the economic impact of vampire films on the Olympic Peninsula, learns the unidentified body found near the Canadian border is Ben Dunn, his best friend from graduate school at the U of U. Through Ben's thumb drive Caden discovers he signed a secret contract with the Council of 5 to control future presidential elections. Using data collected by a medium in two Southern cemeteries, the Council plans silently to gerrymander a new demographic of voters: dead white male Confederates and their sons from the Jim Crow era. In effect, they're resurrecting the Lost Cause to stop unwanted changes. Enraged, Ben's research partner plans to expose the project, angering the Cabal and leading to Ben's death. On January 6, as Caden returns to Virginia, he realizes the Council of 5's paranormal plans will resurrect the past and protect the wealthy and place him and his intern and her family in danger.
