January 6, 2021. Washington, D.C. The air is thick with an electric charge, as if the very ground trembles beneath the weight of uncertainty. Shouts pierce the wintry haze, echoing through the hallowed halls of the Capitol, where lawmaker and lawbreaker intersect in a dangerous dance. As glass shatters and chaos reigns, hearts pound with fear and resolve—some fight for love of country, while others cling to darker ambitions. Secrets fester in the shadows, alliances shift, and at the center lies a terrifying choice that could shatter democracy itself. Who will stand for truth, and who will be engulfed by the storm?
