In a very likely future, the United States is a progressively-controlled country burdened by legislative policies that have eroded the foundations of the United States Constitution. Across the country, seemingly random acts of terrorism are occurring with increasing frequency as racial warfare has exploded between Latino and African Americans. Within the halls of Congress, a new immigration law is being debated that will unionize the nation's workforce, while in the Whitehouse, the president prepares an executive order that will destroy the founding freedoms granted to American citizens. Behind it all, a clandestine group is plotting a socialist revolution to take control of the country. South Carolina Congressman Jasper Thorne has developed a reputation for passionately fighting for the conservative values being shunned by the governmental elite. Believing the power of state rights is the only way to combat the oppressive influence of federal government, he announces his candidacy for governor. Spurned by these events, the state congress of South Carolina passes a bill to allow its citizens to vote to secede from the nation. As the country is bracing for an imminent civil war, Thorne, the potential leader of a new nation, is thrust into the crosshairs of a deadly game of political espionage against forces intent on his destruction and keeping the Union whole. It is a game that must be won at all costs, but will the price for winning be too much for Jasper Thorne to pay? Palmetto Rising - a story of defiance, personal redemption and finding faith when all else seems lost.
