Summary

2005. California is at the epicenter of a political and environmental disaster. A nuclear attack wipes out part of the state of Texas. Now in 2008, America is a virtual police state. The United States is gasoline starved. Marxist radicals, based on the West Coast, are determined to bring down the federal government through violent revolution. In this midst of this chaos, actor and boxer Santaros is famous for his roles in action films. He is trying to secure financing for a new project, but reality keeps mirroring the events in his scripts and he struggles to hold on to his identity following a bout with amnesia. Krysta Now is a porn star. She is reinventing herself as a television pundit offering her views on politics, contemporary culture, and teenage sex. And Roland Taverner is an L.A. police officer whose identity has mysteriously split in two. He struggles to track down his other half
