Within days of a series of devastating terrorist attacks that brought America to its knees, former state legislator Joshua Winston led his friends to a remote camp in the North Carolina mountains to escape the mayhem. Following their sudden, perilous move, Joshua and his group struggled to survive in a futile effort to steer clear of the chaos that consumed the once-great nation. Twenty months later, yet another series of deadly events and shocking revelations brings America to a historic turning point and forces Joshua off the sidelines. Remnants of the United States government face off with each other. Government leaders show little interest in purging terrorists from American soil. Military leaders openly oppose the nation’s leadership. United States military forces are arrayed against each other, on American soil. Citizens take up arms to defend themselves. As a diverse cast of forces converges, Joshua must determine who he can trust as what remains of the American republic teeters on the verge of a final collapse.
