A bipolar failed politician aspires to the Highest Office in the Land. He dreams of bringing America back together again; rid it of foreign influence; and reverse Climate Change. To do this, he must forever and always fight the inner demons he inherited at birth.

SYNOPSIS:

Year 2022. Surgical Unit - Nevada Institute For Artificial Intelligence - NIFAI. Frank Rupentine (55), 6 feet tall, wakes up from surgery. He reflects on his loss of the Nevada Gubernatorial election of November 4th, 2014. He accepts that an inherited medical condition will always prevent him from pleasing both sides of the electorate simultaneously. His psychiatrist, Dr. Milton Meredith is by his side. He confirms that his bipolar condition is now stabilized after the insertion of an advanced A.I. microchip in his head.

Meredith tells Frank’s wife Celine, that he can go all the way to the top. She discusses the proposal with Frank, and both sign the papers that will necessitate complete secrecy. His objectives re-ignite in his mind: to reunite America; to purge foreign influence in U.S. boardrooms; reverse Climate Change; and the jewel, perhaps – to bring peace to the Middle East. He is determined to fight his inner demons at all costs in order to achieve his aims.

The founders of NIFAI - a future thinker, a TV Mogul and a basketball star now a billionaire franchisor, select Frank as the Presidential Candidate. They use the Youth of America as the driving force to push the presidential agenda forward. Dr. Meredith and other directors at NIFAI, monitor and control Frank’s behavior 24/7. They guide him throughout the campaign in pushing his Libertarian message. It sees him taking office in 2024.

Tom Hawkins, the British Prime Minister informs Frank that a mineral – Melt Down Agent (M.D.A.) is found only in a part of the world which is under British control. It is located east of the Democratic Republic of Congo, later named Sukopia. Frank enters into an agreement with the U.K. to develop a vaporizing weapon with no nuclear emission. It is now developed, perfected and ready for use. Provocative missile tests by North Korea and Chinese spying incursions in Sukopia’s airspace test Frank’s patience. Buoyed by the M.D.A. weapon’s potential and his eagerness to settle old scores, Frank is set to take them head-on.

During his second term, Rupentine falls prey to a Russian hacking operation on 4th of July 2029. It ruins his rhetoric while addressing the Nation. The embarrassment sets the stage for a confrontation.

Frank’s pragmatic negotiation skills helped by his implanted microchip enable him to conclude peace with Russia; a peace treaty is signed at the Blenheim Palace in 2030. Russia is admitted to the G7 with the absolute understanding - that it will stay neutral in a Sino-U.S. conflict. Now, he is on target with his objectives bar one. Frank’s polls are at an all-time high and he is eager to press the button. North Korea marches towards the South; China invades Taiwan; Rupentine declares war on January 7th 2031. The new M.D.A. weapon proves devastating and America now reigns supreme.

Out of office and buoyed by his achievements, he confronts his long-time nemesis – the fear of failing on the World Diplomatic Stage. The incumbent president gives him the greenlight to start a Middle East peace initiative. An acerbic headline, a self-conceived infrastructure plan, tenacity, and negotiation skills win hearts and soften centuries-old animosity. He succeeds where all Presidents previously failed. A permanent Israeli-Palestinian peace is signed at Chequers.

A nasty fall while horse-riding triggers rapid health deterioration. He passes away peacefully, barely finishing his autobiography. His last hand-written words were, ‘I never expect the worst … and I always get the best.’
