The Time Spies pop back to Washington D.C. in the midst of the American's second battle with the British, the War of 1812. The capitol is under siege and its citizens--including President James Madison--are forced to flee. But there's more at stake in this battle than the fate of one city. America stands to lose countless historical treasures too, including a great symbol of independence, the portrait of George Washington. Can the Time Spies help First Lady Dolley Madison rescue George's picture before the British burn the city to the ground?
