When a regular client offers him a deal – no questions asked – Charlie thinks it will be his biggest score yet. He will soon learn this deal will have consequences that go beyond anything he could have imagined.     THE ROAD TO EMPIRE is a political allegory camouflaged as a thriller, which reminds us that sometimes our supposed protectors can be the ones most dangerous in our lives.
