Meet Stickman and Maple, homegrown terrorists hell-bent on bringing down the government.
They break the mold of terrorists being social misfits, extremists seeking martyrdom. Stickman and Maple are trained and disciplined. They hold down jobs. They blend in. They could be your next-door neighbors.
Except for ... being hell-bent on upending government. Follow these anti-heroes as they launch murderous attacks on “soft” targets – a press conference in DC, an iconic mall in the Heartland. Hundreds die. Fear grips the nation. Other extremists join their horrific crusade.
