They constructed a reality in which the rest of the world would reside. A clever ruse. A democracy with all the trappings and none of the substance. A hollow state where the citizenry would be considered superfluous and expendable, and the pillars upon which democracy once stood would be an illusion, mere props of a play, staged solely to dupe the public into believing in its existence.
In 1938, in the midst of the Great Depression, Joseph Gordon overhears a group of wealthy businessmen making plans to seize control of the United States government.
By 2024 their plan is complete; the middle class is gone and corporations are pulling all the strings. Congress no longer even pretends to care about what the American people want and the history books have all been rewritten to make it seem as if it had always been this way — that this was democracy, and that this was exactly what our founding fathers had wanted.
Armed with the truth and determined to do something about it, Joe’s descendants find themselves up against a surveillance state like no other. With drones circling the skies and an unrelenting dragnet of electronic surveillance watching their every move, telling the truth or fighting back seems an unlikely possibility. That is until the patriarch of the Gordon family reveals a secret he has held for nearly ninety years.
