The Patsy Synopsis - Jay Fitzpatrick "The Patsy" is a satirical time travel political thriller that demonstrates to the world what happens when America is forced to destroy itself to survive. President Tommy Burk has just been re-elected to his second term as POTUS and is looking to establish his legacy. The president, working with NASA plasma physicists and engineers at the Tesla Space Flight Center, have opened doorways into time. The president's first test is to send time jumpers into the past to find the truth about a crime that has haunted America for fifty-three years. Did Lee Harvey Oswald take the shot that killed JFK or was he just a patsy? The president's intent is not to change history but to uncover the truth and change history books. But there are those within the government who do not want the truth to be revealed. The president, the most powerful person in the world, serves at the pleasure of his own Congress and mainstream media, both whom are determined to destroy him and his legacy. The IC intelligent community uncovers a plot involving North Korea, ISIL, and Iran to launch an High Altitude Electromagnetic Pulse missile over the East Coast of the United States. Before the president and his team can prevent the attack, they stumble on a diabolical conspiracy between the past, present, and future, between Congress and a high-ranking CIA director with a scary past, intent on overthrowing the government and eliminating President Burk. The president sends his time travel jumpers into the future to witness the terrorist attack and its aftermath and bring back the means to prevent it. When Congress and the media attempt a coup d'?tat against President Burk, he is forced to declare martial law to save himself and the country. Democracy must die, be cleansed and be born again to survive. The world sees President Burk as a dictator and North Korea sees weakness. Just a heartbeat away from World War III, President Burk summons the one man who can eliminate Kim Jong-un and prevent the coming storm: The Irish Jew, Israel Colburn, aka Icy. America has come head to head with the worst kinds of evil, the evil from within that has nothing to lose. Hold on for a thrill ride through the river of time past the predictable, towards the unspeakable, and into the deep darkness of the abyss.
