What Season 2 of House of Cards

Frank is now Vice President of the United States, and his priority is erasing the traces that link him to Peter Russo, all while keeping up with the growing weight of his responsibilities. Every problem he solves earns him more power, and that drives him to weave alliances and apply pressure around the White House. Claire leads the Clean Water Initiative and takes part in the couple's strategy. The central conflict pits the Underwoods against Raymond Tusk, whose personal war grows more vicious. On top of this come tensions with China, clashes with Senate Republicans, and the relationship with the Walkers, marked by some friction.
