Corruption runs rampant in the United States government. The people are starving and afraid. They are in need of a passionate and commanding leader to take back their once prosperous country shrouded in liberty.
Ruth Croxton is in love with a man named Julian Montgomery; a freedom fighter ready to martyr himself in the name of his country. Raising quite a political following as well as a thirst for revolution from citizens all over the nation, his charisma is evident in everything he does.
When the revolution is over, the rebels name Julian their new president. However, Julian's frighteningly egalitarian views cause chaos in his beloved country. Determined to squash any resistance, he only lets the opinions of one person affect him: Ruth. Ruth knows that she must do something, but Julian's manipulative behavior has a way of blurring everyone's judgement, including her own, into believing his way is the best way.
