Concept: Imagine waking up one morning and all you ever had has been replaced with fear, hardship, servitude and death. You have no idea who is doing the killing, or if you'll even survive the day.
Brief Synopsis:

With weapons only imagined in war rooms, an underground world government attacks America and other superpower nations. Millions are killed overnight, and all survivors are devastated and leaderless. A middle aged war hero and CIA paramilitary officer, is given the task to get a special device into the invaders headquarters. He talks his buddy, a carefree yacht captain, into joining him. On the way, they pick up an ailing CIA analogist.  

 

After struggling to traverse Florida on horseback, the only means of ground transportation, they survive a harrowing boat ride to Cuba, where the military command center is located. Three key Pangaean scientists, Americans, are kidnapped by the small patriotic team.  After learning they were deceived into developing weapons for the new government and what happened to their country and families, the scientists are eager to join the fight. Unfortunately, one of the Americans turns out to be a mole. All are captured, and taken to the military command center. At the patriots’ darkest hour, the device is actuated, and they have twenty-four hours to escape the the command center and get out of the way before a nuclear submarine can fire the first American shot in defense.
