Robin Wright vive in un hangar con due figli, il suo agente le procura un colloquio con uno degli studi hollywoodiani più importanti, la Miramount, le viene offerto di diventare la pioniera di un nuovo modo di recitare: cedere tutti i diritti sulla digitalizzazione della propria persona, così che lo studio crei una copia virtuale di lei da utilizzare in tutti i film che vuole, mentre la vera Robin Wright non dovrà recitare mai più. L'attrice, stimolata dalla brutta piega della sua carriera, accetta. Vent'anni dopo il mondo è cambiato e quella piccola innovazione è diventata la regola, gli esseri umani si drogano per vedere la realtà diversamente, come fosse un film d'animazione, assumendo l'aspetto che vogliono. Robin Wright è diventata l'attrice più sfruttata dalla Miramount ma al congresso per il futuro viene fatto un annuncio sconvolgente che scatena una rivolta.

Traficant: The Congressman of Crimetown / 2015
Jim Traficant was a legendary quarterback turned mob busting Walking Tall Sheriff who rose to power on a platform of “honesty in politics”. He quickly ascended to the hallowed halls of Congress, becoming its most outspoken member. "Jimbo" as his die-hard supporters called him, was known for his polyester thrift store suits, shock top wigs, vulgar humor and profanity laced rhetoric against the FBI, IRS, and every president since Reagan. His one minute speeches made C-SPAN must see programming, as he signed off with his patented “Beam Me Up!” In his post-industrial hometown of Youngstown, Ohio -- dubbed Crimetown, USA for being the most mobbed up city in America -- "Jimbo" was a living legend, once garnering more than 90% of the vote. However, the eccentric maverick also had a dark side, becoming only the second Member of Congress expelled since the Civil War, eventually spending over seven years in federal prison on bribery and tax evasion charges.

The magician then waves his hand and the flags of all nations slowly dissolve and blend into one huge American flag.
