At the start of the 21st century the Spence family had successfully accumulated a multi-billion dollar business empire. The family had two sitting U.S. Senators, an ex-CIA Deputy Director now in charge of a highly secretive NSA project, and a 53 year old head of their business empire and family, Zachary Spence,who lived on a sprawling estate north of Liverpool, England.
