Embittered Bo 'Big Bruddah' Watts has assembled a scratch army of gun-toting militiamen based all over the US from his woodland bunker in Michigan. He's angry because he missed the last uprising which ended in failure when his now ex-wife Miky Spike stopped a confrontation at a Cracker Barrel from turning into a bloodbath.
Bill Hoeksma, former governor of Michigan, is now nominally in charge of his late father's private military empire, Silver Eagle. But the man really running the show is octogenarian Wilbur Tuttle, fresh out of jail after serving time for the accidental death of an FBI agent at the hands of Bill Hoeksma.
Meanwhile, amid ever more frequent climate catastrophes, rumours are circulating that the liberal, female President of the USA is going to ban beef - snatching the great American hamburger from the mouths of American patriots.
Tuttle's plan? To stage a coup in Tampa, Florida by kidnapping the President's daughter and to install Hoeksma as a puppet President in her place. With the support of Silver Eagle's best men - all codenamed Dirk - and the backing of Big Bruddah's militia, what can possibly go wrong?
