America at the Brink. Competing ideologies divide our citizens, setting neighbor against neighbor, family against family. Never since 1860 has the country been more apart. In a time when facts are what anyone wants or need them to be, disinformation and mistrust of each other are the only ‘truth’ being broadcast. As everyday Americans hunker down, trying to avoid becoming a victim of the cancel culture wars, America is self-segregating into warring tribes, each believing the other is evil personified.
From the obscurity of College History professor, decorated veteran Nick Turner finds himself thrust into the role of interim United States Senator. With neither political experience nor political baggage, he must quickly learn the ways of the most powerful political body in the world. Quickly realizing the Washington political battlefield is every bit as deadly and diabolical as Afghanistan and Iraq, Nick has to develop new skills to survive, even as the nation faces a key turning point in its history.
Nick witnesses firsthand how Congress disregards the impact of their laws on the people. Creating massive unintended consequences for every problem supposedly solved in each bill. He sees how Congress responds to problems they cause. Not by rescinding them, but simply repeating the process, passing more laws to fix the problems they created. This lack of common sense and accountability for their ineptitude and corruption leaves Nick frustrated and disillusioned.
Through an accident of fate, Nick becomes the key vote on a piece of groundbreaking legislation. Legislation whose consequences, both intended and unintended, would alter the future of the Republic. Nick struggles against his Party, the Opposition, his conscience, and his obligation to defend his own constituents from the uncertainty this legislation would enable. Which way is right? How will he know? These are the questions as we find out just What One Man Can Do?
