We meet the hero as a seventeen-year old who is fired by the trainer for whom he rides. The stated reasons are that he isn't very good and never will be - and that he is known to use illegal drugs. The first is deeply painful because he suspects that it is true, and the second is infuriating because it is completely untrue. Curiously, a limo hired by his single father is waiting out front for him.
It seems that Dad is entering politics and wants his son at his side to prove that he is a family man. His wife died in childbirth and Dad has remained affectionate but somewhat distant. Now young Benedict becomes his father's bodyguard as well as his campaign companion as someone is out to kill him.
