It's the immediate future. Unemployment and corporate greed are facts of life across the U.S. The notion of an elected official telling the truth has become an anachronism, gone from the landscape like family values and ordinary human decency. A massive megacorporation dominates media enterprises around the globe, and controls the US Congress. The Vice President is a psychotic madman who rules the nation with an iron fist.
In the face of nationwide outrage and disgust - including the suspicious death of an Assistant US Attorney - the President and Vice President are re-elected by the lowest voter turnout in the nation's history.
What's wrong with this picture?
Seven-term Congressman Victor Sligo joins high-level officials at Independence Hall to take steps to bring down the government. Out of nowhere comes unassuming Edwin Foulks, a man able to see directly into the heart of every person he encounters. Foulks flies an incendiary banner across Philadelphia: "Taking over the government. Go to Rebellion.com". Sligo and Foulks pull off a frantic cross-country escape from the FBI, Homeland Security, and a cheering nation on the verge of a meltdown. Together they conspire to accomplish Foulks' unthinkable demand - to restore ordinary compassion to the American landscape.
Supporting the fugitives is a redoubtable cast, including a Vietnamese octogenarian computer geek speaking through a tracheal chip, a vigilante hacker scarred by US government experiments on his brain, and the reincarnation of DB Cooper. Altogether a wild bunch who will challenge your fictional boundaries and cause you to lock up your children and reexamine your dust-covered copy of the Constitution.
