Swept Away

Sheila is certain America's dynasties will destroy the country, but her nascent group of academic colleagues has failed to persuade the government and the people of the need for change.
They call themselves Prime Heuristic. Their influence on government is small compared to that of powerful houses like Daco, Harrington, Maddox, and Tafuri.
Sheila and her colleagues monitor the fight for economic dominance between these four houses and America's other dynasties . Point One Percent influence upon politicians is indisputable. But even among the masses, dynasty wealth has its supporters, as expressed through the trendy fashion known as "dynasty style".
When Sheila meets Jasira she doesn't know what to expect. The popular congressional correspondent is smart, attractive. Their connection is clear from the start, but Sheila finds herself wanting to know Jasira's real agenda.
Does Jasira support the dynasties and their influence upon the government she covers? Or is she, like Sheila, working to turn the country away from contemporary feudalism and back to democracy?
This is the first episode of the serial THE AMERICAN FATHERS. It involves four dynasties, a Lebanese-American Journalist, an impassioned college professor, a security contractor, a flamboyant hitman, a rebel hacker, a megalomaniac, and a smart, idiosyncratic heiress. There are nine episodes in Season One. Sheila's point of view is central in Swept Away, Dinner Invitation, and Visitors.
