John is working in his garden when he is attacked by a drone armed with a .40 caliber gun.

John escapes and goes on the run.  He finds out it was the government that murdered his wife and tried to kill him, just as they have been secretly assassinating other citizens who speak out against the current administration.  He joins a talented group of government resisters and is asked to lead them in a rebellion to topple the rogue government.
