"The U.S. Dollar is deemed worthless by every other nation in the world. Immediate economic collapse follows. A chilling, realistic scenario. In the aftermath, Meritism replaces Capitalism. Your possessions are now dependent on how hard you work, not the job you have. And government overseers regulate the whole system. A new Utopia for the working-class. A Dystopian Communistic Nightmare for those who were once affluent. Damien Myers, leader of the Capitalists, masterminds a diabolic plan to annhilate Meritism and reestablish Capitalism. Merit Agent Nick Reynolds risks everything to go undercover and infiltrate the Capitalists, attempting to safeguard Meritism. A.J. Reynolds, Nick's Daughter, is caught in the middle. She must learn to live with the consequences of her father's decisions, regardless of the devastating consequences on her teenage life. Will you side with the Capitalists and do everything in your power to topple Meritism? Or will you risk your life to protect Meritism?"--Amazon.com.
