The Manchurian Candidate meets All the President’s Men.

When a U.S. senator’s presidential campaign is upended by the sudden appearance of a woman claiming to have his child - and irrefutable DNA proves she’s right - a tenacious young journalist risks her life to uncover the truth — only to discover a conspiracy powerful enough to rewrite history itself.

TAGLINE:

Scandal was just the cover story. The real question was HOW?

SYNOPSIS:

Set in the near future, at a time when America is fractured by unrest, disinformation, and political fatigue, “The Immaculate Deception” follows journalist Susan Weaver as she stumbles into the story of her career. Senator Bill Walsh, once a forgettable political figure, becomes a national hero after surviving a crash that should have killed him. But just as his campaign gains unstoppable momentum, a woman (Veronika Marsden) emerges with a baby that DNA tests confirm is his - despite the senator’s vehement denial and no record of any connection between them. He becomes a figure of ridicule. His career, his marriage, his reputation are destroyed.

But as Susan digs deeper, she discovers that the scandal is not what it seems. Veronika is no ordinary mistress, and Walsh is no ordinary liar. A shocking conspiracy emerges: Walsh was made a father without his knowledge. In a world of weaponized media, political blackmail, and high-tech deception, Susan must decide whether to expose the full truth — or become complicit in the greatest political hoax in American history.

This is a thriller about power, trust, and the terrifying fragility of democracy when truth itself is manufactured.
