The year is 2024, U.S. Elections are in full swing and the growing aggression from North Korea, with a weakened Chinese economy, all sides are on a collision course towards conflict. During a “routine” North Korean nuclear test, an EMP burst caused blackouts all along the North and South Korean borders, forcing both sides to rapidly mobilize their military forces in response to the situation. Tensions are extremely high, with both sides considering pre-emptive strikes against the other. The Chinese and Americans have no interest in allowing the conflict to escalate, but neither side is willing to lose any more face. Both sides have convened their war councils in response to the situation, and are using an emergency line of communication, which is experiencing consistent technical glitches, intensifying confusion and paranoia.
