Synopsis: In 2075, American history is gone and forgotten. The former United States of America is now a Theocratic Corporatocracy. In 2027, term limits were abolished and the federal government was over-thrown by the current Administration. In 2028, the US Constitution was re-written. The President of the United States began auctioning off states to the highest bidders. Theocratic billionaires and a few corporations won those bids. Laws were dismantled. The people of the former USA either fled, or became indentured servants.  One year before the 300th anniversary of the American Revolution, after years of fighting over majority control of the Great America Corporation, the Rowland and Jarvis families have finally agreed to a merger; the wedding of Marcus Rowland and Madison Jarvis.  But Marcus is in love with a kitchen servant; the mysterious, Veronica Paloma. But their plan to escape is thwarted when Marcus is kidnapped by a group of Cygnet rebels and taken to their underground headquarters, where his uncle Tristan, thought to have been murdered years before, is now teamed up with Rake, the brilliant, charismatic Cygnet leader who has amassed a vast network of spies across the east coast. Using old, reconnected landlines and 20th century spy craft, Rake and her Cygnet army plan to fight and win the 2nd American Revolution on the 300th anniversary of the 1st. To take back the country, and install a Democracy.    Adaptable as a feature.
