Alexander Hamilton can hardly wait to make a name for himself in his adopted country, but his eagerness for fame engenders a rashness that his peers find harder and harder to bear. After thirty years of working brilliantly and diligently to create a new American government, Alex finds himself ignored -- a political has-been. As he has done before, Alex speaks out slanderously, but this time he refuses to apologize, taking the chance to ensure his legacy at the risk of death.
