With the Civil War on the brink of culminating, Abraham Lincoln dispatches his right hand man to meet with a group of businessmen who assisted The Union during the fighting. Lincoln realises that rebuilding the country will be the greatest challenge of his life and knows his aim will only be possible with the assistance of the titans of four shipping, the railroads, construction, and finance. The beginning of the Gilded Age has truly begun and the businessmen take every opportunity to exploit their connections. Despite the facade of unity, they split off into their own factions, each seeking to ruin the other and benefit only himself. Who will come out on top and win the ultimate prize? Whose family line will domiate America for eternity?
