Synopsis
The United States in the near future. Exasperated by federal immigration policy, which he believes has turned his country into a teeming melting pot, the governor of Idaho refuses to grant political asylum to a charter flight carrying orphans. On a whim, relayed by the NEWS NET television channel, he decides to close his state's borders.
The situation is escalating, Idaho is calling for independence, and local militias are preparing to confront the Federal Army. The American Dream is turning sour, and global television networks are reveling in broadcasting live coverage of the genesis of the second Civil War.
