Jim Thurmond is an unlikely hero. He's an embittered Viet Nam vet with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and a drinking problem the size of Texas. When Jim suffers a full-blown breakdown, he emerges with the realization that America's political, financial and legal systems have become hopelessly corrupt. Jim hasn't worn his country's uniform for decades but, like all vets, he never renounced his oath to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. Jim and a small group of fellow veterans of the super-secret Army Security Agency decide to take matters into their own hands. Like our Founding Fathers, they form a Committee of Safety, vigilantes dedicated to making sure that America's domestic enemies pay the ultimate price. Branded domestic terrorists, they rush to complete their mission before the full might of the FBI can stop them. Jim's mission to restore America's values forces him to confront his own demons. He'll either save America and himself in the process, or die trying.
