Plot Summary:
During America’s second and more devastating depression, America is in shock and awe. Never in the annals of world history has such a rich and powerful people lost so much. Over ninety percent of the country is below the poverty line and unemployment is at 45%. The country has to go to marshal law when the poor resort to lawlessness and violence. The rich employ their own private armies to protect themselves. The Democratic and Republican parties lose power and the People’s Party and The New World Order Party become the leading forces in American politics.
After the New World Order Party loses the presidential election by a landslide, they collude with the super wealthy to overtake the government. Since they own and operate almost all media, America and the world is hit with a propaganda blitzkrieg; telling all who will listen that the newly elected president, Maria Elena Santiago, stole the election
and they with their patriot army will take back the White House, the presidency and the country.
These self-proclaimed Freedom Fighters cripple the U.S. Army with their overseer’s ability to shut down and control most electronics and infrastructure in the country. The once mighty U.S. military is stalemated throughout the country while the Freedom Fighters’ ruthless military leader, Mills Bato, leads an attack on the White House. Bato’s mission; to take and preserve the White House and capture the President alive.
Bato and his soldiers stop at nothing, fighting and killing their way to and through the White House in search of the President to prove their so-called rightful position as the true leaders of the U.S. The President is evacuated to a safe room in the third floor of the White House basement where her guards sacrifice their lives to protect her.
When Bato and his men finally break into the safe-room, Bato is enraged to find that the President, by herself, has been dematerialized and transported by an unfinished experimental teleportation machine to parts unknown. After many days of torturing the President’s guard survivors to no avail, Bato’s men figure out where the president has gone.
Bato and his key henchman follow President Santiago’s trail into another dimension to get a digital testimony and get the processing chip implanted in her hand that will enable the possessor the ability to run the U.S. Before they kill her they need her to confess to rigging the election and that is why the New World Order fought to save America.
What Bato didn’t expect was that the President would have allies in this other dimension. A blast from the past with his old school ways of doing things steps in to assist the little lady.
A battle for the Presidents life and for democracy ensue. Will freedom reign or will America become the home of the subjugated?
