LOGLINE
A bitter ostracized U.S. Senator and her unbalanced brother, believing himself to be the second coming of Hitler, push the country into a civil war.
THE STORY
During the latter years of the twentieth century, the great United States of America was virtually destroyed by vengeful siblings Wilma Riser and her ne'er-do-well brother, Wilmer, a man who believes he is the second coming of Hitler.
At 11:00 am, four unexpected ear-splitting explosions rocked New York, Atlanta, and Washington D.C. The U.S. Capitol and three media outlets are reduced to ashes. Days later, eight post office buildings are reduced to ashes as well. Other events throughout the country lead to a full-blown civil war.
Wilma Riser enters the the United States Military Academy at West Point but is sent home after failing to meet the academy's strict physical requirements. Wilma, a Mensa International member, then receives university degrees in chemistry and law. She enters the United States Senate after working at a law firm twelve years.
Wilmer turns dark while a Senator, resigns from Congress and travels the world with her friend for life, retired U.S. Army Lt. Colonel Wally Downey.
As she packs her belongings for leaving Washington, she learns of Senator Tommy Tracker's suicide.
The media theorizes Wilma's resignation, Tracker's suicide and newsman Billy Victor's unexpected job loss are connected, suggesting foul play. Victor is a childhood nemesis obsessed with Wilma and follows her to Washington.
A disguised Billy Victor is always nearby. Billy, still bitter because Wilma rebuffed him in high school stalks her daily. Wilma recognizes Billy's voice as she and Wally enjoy eating pizza. At the counter, when Wally pays for the food, Wilma rams a knee squarely in Billy's groin. The pain is intense. Billy promises to kill Wilma.
Wilma returns from her travels and, with brother Wilmer, implements her plan to make a difference.
After the explosions, the USA citizens are in a sorry state. The unemployment rate is extremely high. Kids yell and shove, grown men engage in fisticuffs, stay-a-home moms scream at other's kids. Murders, burglaries, robberies, and thefts, including shoplifting, are at all-time highs. Many businesses, even grocery stores and pharmacies, close for business. Everyone is mean-spirited.
Wilma, when learning the FBI suspects her involvement in the acts of terrorism, fakes a publicly televised death and flees to a country without a USA extradition treaty.
Wilma's brother continues the mayhem using an alias, Chester Nojester. He has everything money can buy and, with it, he inspires a million men, who share his extreme hatred for the government, to destroy the country's infrastructure. He easily roundups an unhinged army of ragtag malcontents. After an air chase, Wilmer is captured. With Wilma beyond reach, Wilmer, in his perceived glory, faces swift justice alone.
