With only a week until the election, can these young detectives uncover the truth and save the day? Dive into a mystery filled with Washington, D.C.'s iconic landmarks and unravel the intrigue behind the scenes of power. Will KC and Marshall's sleuthing skills be enough to rescue the presidency, or will the trickery succeed in altering the nation's future?
