An organization detects that a diagram long ago existed that would have saved the Roman Empire from moral destruction.
This organization also ascertains that the United States, though having obvious ethical contrastive points, will soon reach a similar level of regression, in certain, but not all areas of the Roman Empire, with an attendant weakening of societies underlying moral foundation.
The organization draws together six geniuses and a spiritual man whose mind-sets and inclinations are similar cosmologically, so to speak, to those who created the first diagram that was destroyed at Rome. These seven individuals are to determine the nature of the original diagram and update it for the U.S. with a view to redirecting history. (These six are so eccentric and frivolous as to appear oftentimes socially crazy, all the while as serious issues are developing; for them, and the reader.)
