Long before the January 6 insurrection, men are planning to rise up. It's 2019, and their commander-in-chief has yet to tell them to "stand back and stand by." But he's given them many encouraging signs, and planning takes time—time that's interrupted by Jeff Kingston, an escaped prisoner, and Grace Burgess, who is fleeing her husband's brutality. Their paths collide at a secret government installation, deep in the countryside, guarded by men on a mission who capture Grace. Grateful to be rescued by Jeff, Grace soon learns that he might be a killer. The sister she though dead is alive, and the man behind the lies plans to use them as human shields in a confrontation with federal authorities. Can they escape before bullets begin to fly and hundreds of lives are lost?
