This is how democracies fall...
Slowly, and then suddenly.
Months of buildup.
A gradual cracking of the foundation.
The initial spark of an election lost.
The divisive theory that the election was stolen fanning the flames.
The fire spreading, with a growing collection of "patriots" willing to do whatever it takes to keep their leader in power.
Plans are formulated, schedules are set, and as the proposed day of reckoning-January 6, 2021-draws near, the fervent, fanatical, and infuriated energy among the most loyal becomes palpable.
An impending explosion.
"Save our USA!" "The steal stops here!"
All it takes is a nation asleep at the wheel. A nation not ready to respond.
A nation ill-equipped for an insurrection that could, in turn, destroy it.
Legions of President William Trawley's most die-hard supporters descend on Washington, D.C. for one last rally-the rally to "Save Our USA" and overturn the 2020 election-but they aren't the only ones...
Two Secret Service agents arrive at the United States Capitol Building, knowing that trouble could be brewing, but unsure exactly which form it will take.
Two children, accompanied by the rest of their class and led by their devoted teacher, also arrive the Capitol for a field trip, having no idea their lives will soon be in grave danger.
A prominent Republican senator and Trawley supporter rises to voice objection to the election results, not realizing that a crowd of violent protestors willing to take down anyone-including her-in the name of President Trawley has already been unleashed.
A newspaper journalist, accustomed to covering warzones in foreign lands, can't predict that the next battle to save a nation will be his own-with him caught right in the middle of it.
And in New York City, the team at Columbia News Channel, including a rookie news anchor facing her first day on the air, juggles the personal and the professional on what will become one of the most historic days of their lives.
A fictional narrative inspired by true events, Taylor Dye's Though The Heavens May Fall shows us just how fragile democracy is, and chronicles a nightmare scenario of how it could be so easily shattered. Filled with unforgettable lessons to be learned for years and decades to come, its central question will forever linger: What happens when the most powerful nation in history is attacked by its own citizens wishing to see it fall?
The answer may be too horrifying to find out.
