In the near future continual political disasters have left people unhappy and angry, no one thinks the world works and no one thinks anyone else knows how to fix it.  Politicians run back and forth promising the moon and delivering a scandal instead, businesses struggle and the enviorment declines. Kevin Sterling has had enough. The owner of a giant technology conglomerate, Kevin Sterling has wealth and power that most people can only dream of.  And he has friends too, the movers and shakers of society, industry leaders in entertainment, biotechnology, transportation, and more or less every other market known to man. They have all come together to guide the world towards a better future, to pull the hidden strings to move humanity towards prosperity and fill their pockets at the same time.  They are the Illuminati, and they are the only heroes our world will ever see.
