Synopsis

Set against the backdrop of a dystopic United States, 2 friends navigate a US falling to fascism. The Fall of US moves through an alternate recent history where 2 friends, Jessie and John, struggle to live their lives as a darker US falls apart around them. Beginning with a flashback to New York of the late 90s, and moving through a 2004 election that goes awry; bad decisions are made by US leaders leaving the US open to more and stronger terrorist attacks! This leads the US towards a fascist state reminiscent of Germany before World War II. John sees this alternate dark history through the eyes of a soldier serving in a tank unit in Iraq, and Jessie lives it through the eyes of a teacher in the Bronx of New York City. Follow these friends, their compatriots, and family in their struggle to overcome adversity through a looking glass that examines the darker side of humanity, and its resilience in the face of adversity.
