Jack Corder, a frat boy from the local university has had a real tough time getting by in life. But, one ad in the Classifieds catches his eye; $500 for each filming of a YouTube series. But, as Jack soon finds out, $500 is theft compared to the things he will face.

For the first time since 1932 a presidential election is taking place in the midst of a genuine financial crisis. The reaction of the candidates was revealing. More revealing, though, was to whom both candidates turned on that panic-ridden morning of Sept. 15, and how the messages evolved before and after that day.
