After barely surviving a plane crash, a man discovers an undersea city called Rapture; a failed utopia created by Jack Ryan, a man who looked to embrace a world surrounding the objectivist ideals of Ayn Rand.

FDR's New Deal has redefined American politics. America's sense of freedom was diminishing, and many were desperate to take that freedom back.

Among them was a great dreamer, Andrew Ryan, who created Rapture—the shining city below the sea. But this utopia suffered a great tragedy.

This is the story of how it all came to be and how it all ended.
