A true conflict of ideologies spawns a new civil war in the United States and the nation's salvation lies in the hands of technology. President Ronald Kahn faces a stiff reelection and moves to usurp the democratic process by executing cyber and bioterrorism attacks on his own country in order to stay in power. Blaming Iran for the attacks, Kahn declares a State of Emergency and fabricates a second more lethal bio attack by Iran which he himself plans to execute with the help of an Artificial Intelligent Agent called, Athena. Henry Little Hawk and Aleja Trujillo, resistance leaders fighting for the people, learn the terrifying details about Kahn's plan--and millions of American lives are at stake. They organize an uprising to arrest Kahn, but their efforts turn to war with Kahn's followers. As the Resistance loses the battle to a much larger and better armed counter-force, their only hope of defeating Kahn is to free the original creators of Athena from Kahn's captivity and give them full reign to reprogram their brainchild to end Kahn's deadly politics. But is the country ready to relinquish control to a machine?
