Synopsis

Dawn Mortenson is a teenager who simply cannot let bad things happen to people. That behavior led to her being kidnapped by a scientist who wanted to leave her brain dead while her former high school principal kidnapped her in order to tie her in chains and throw her into the ocean. She then helped save lives after the attempt to blow up the building she was in failed, leaving two security guards who stopped the attempt dead. She got to know FBI agent DuBois as he investigated these attempts on her life, insisting that her employer the Information is Power Consortium provide a 24 hour a day bodyguard for her after her house was burned to the ground after the fire alarms had been disconnected. She then accelerated the tobacco industries attacks on her by agreeing to serve as the emcee at the Madison Square Garden Make Big Tobacco Unprofitable concert where she introduced her good friend Johnny Cardone who sang his hit song UR Not Killin Our Kids. "I am a father and hope to be a grandfather, and I have had the privilege to meet tens of thousands of amazing young people over my career. And here's the deal. The tobacco companies are targeting young people because if they don't get young people to start smoking, they will be unprofitable. It's as simple as that. So we are going to sing some kick ass rock and roll and encourage you to support the good guys in the tobacco wars who have set up tables out in the lobby." And he launched into UR Not Killin Our Kids and flat out ripped it up. He walked down into the crowd, pulling people out of their seats to sing a line of the song with him, and kept walking. And then he said, "Alright folks upstairs hold on, I'm coming up." And he did the same for those in the upper seats. And he sang the song and walked the whole distance of the iconic venue, singing his anti-tobacco anthem to all twenty-thousand-and to what would actually be a much larger audience, since the concert was being video-recorded and streamed live.
