  "Follow suit—or vanish." 
  In the underbelly of the Vietnam War, where shadows moved silently and secrets were currency, Specialist Peabody was thrust into a role he never sought. What began as a mundane Army supply job soon unraveled into a web of illicit power, where heroin was the product and lives were the price. With Captain Pickard off to the front lines, Peabody was left holding the reins to a stealthy empire under the cryptic command of Solitaire—a clandestine organization where a single playing card determined allegiance and offered a path no less perilous than it was profitable. 
  Peabody's token? The Two of Diamonds. 
  A badge of power; a test of loyalty. 
  As the echoes of war begin to fade, a ruthless new game emerges. Caught between familial duty and the lure of forbidden wealth, Peabody is tasked with recruiting others into this tangled hierarchy. Every selection, every promise—each one is a step deeper into a legacy of deception. Can he balance the scales between his love for his family and the dark demands of Solitaire? 
  Episode 19 of the Solitaire Series confronts you with a world where trust is a commodity, loyalty is bought, and ultimate freedom is just an illusion. In a realm where nothing is as it seems, each play is a gamble of life and death.
