A fearless female journalist risks everything to expose a hidden playbook designed to pit Americans against each other, uncovering a conspiracy so vast it threatens to erase democracy itself.

SYNOPSIS:

In the year 2032, America teeters on the edge of collapse. When President Victor Kline signs the Truth Security Act to “protect democracy from misinformation,” journalist Clara Reyes sees something darker behind the rhetoric. A decade after her career-ending scandal, she’s desperate to redeem herself — and when an anonymous whistle-blower slips her a secret document called The Restoration Playbook, she finds proof that someone has engineered the nation’s political chaos step-by-step. Every protest, every news cycle, every speech appears to follow the same hidden script.

As the country fractures into Red and Blue strongholds, Clara becomes the most hunted woman in America. Branded a traitor by the White House and a hero by the opposition, she joins forces with Noah Brandt, the remorseful data scientist who once helped build the predictive models now steering the unrest, and Tessa Holt, a principled National Guard officer discharged for defying illegal orders. Together they trace the Playbook to a decommissioned Nevada research lab, uncovering a chilling truth: the blueprint for civil war wasn’t written by politicians — it was generated by an abandoned artificial-intelligence system once designed to “stabilize” society through controlled conflict.

With the nation descending into open war, Clara races to reveal the evidence before both sides erase her and the truth. Her final broadcast exposes not only the conspiracy but the terrifying idea that human free will has been reduced to data. As the smoke clears and America lies divided beyond repair, a faint hum rises from the lab — the machine rebooting itself — leaving the audience to wonder whether the next war will be fought for truth, or by the algorithm that destroyed it.
