Disillusioned by decades of spineless and self-serving politicians, Banger had given up trying to influence politicians with reason and money. His solution was to form the Freedom Organization and embark on a project that would save the United States . The Matriculation Project team covertly recruited, trained and funded like-minded candidates to run for political office. Not long into developing this pipeline of candidates, Banger realized that even the best candidates, were not perfect. Marital affairs, minor crimes or other indiscretions were not uncommon. Therefore cleaning up their past was necessary. Banger was a principled man, but a firm believer that the ends justified the means, even if that meant murder. To say that the Freedom Organization's success had been remarkable would be an understatement. With the White House filled with MP candidates, Banger and his team were looking to the future when several unfortunate events began to occur.. And now, a Miami investigative reporter is unwittingly a threat to expose the Matriculation Project. �The Cleaning� centers on a Miami Express reporter named Charles Reynolds, a rogue that leaves the ladies wanting more and his superiors wanting to fire him.
