Synopsis 2010 or 11. The global financial crisis is fading away. Life is coming back to normal. People around the globe are starting to travel again, enjoy life, and dream about a better future. Even in countries that hardly could be described as prosperous or well-developed. Three young dudes live on different sides of the globe. One is a young guy from India, Raj Aggarwal, another is a young lady from Honduras, Jasmin Lopez, and the third is a boy from Russia, Kolya Makeev. All of them are in their early twenties and all are computer geniuses. They have different problems in their lives, which are surprisingly similar by the end of the day: they feel that they do not belong to the country where they were born and currently live… All of sudden… they all apply to, and win the US Green Card lottery. Three innocent and naïve emigrants prepare to go to the US. After receiving their green cards, they each move to Miami. In Miami, they meet an American guy, Kevin Roster, who is an activist helping immigrants to adapt to local realities. He helps these three new immigrants to find a job in the newly opened Miami Facebook/Meta office. This eager group, aka Group of Three (GOT), works day and night on jobs assigned to them by FB and their own ideas as well. Very soon they develop “Lie and Scum Detector” (LSD), a gadget that detects … you know what. This project becomes known to the scientific and the IT community, as well as to immigrant circles in Miami, including those closely connected to mafias and mobs and the intelligence services of all imaginable countries – Mosad, 国安部Guó'ānbù, GRU, CIA, سپاه پاسداران انقلاب اسلامی, FBI, to name a few of the scariest. Sinister things start to happen around our heroes. GOT try to escape and they get lost in the largest US city, NYC. But in New York Kolya almost immediately meets Russian UN rep Sergey Lavrunov, who explains to him what a real patriot should do and urges him to come back to Russia. Or else… Kolya is in grave doubt. He fears, not without good reasons, that his parents and sister back in Russia could be in life-threatening danger. The situation is growing up to critical. GOT is trying to escape again. In a rented car, they are driving across the country to Texas. In Huntsville, Alabama, they meet New Christians radical black religious/militant group, people who are not passionate enough to wait for a Judgment Day. They want a New World right now. The GOT travels together with New Christians to Austin where they should be fire baptized through helping extremist organization blow up a traditional church. Doubts have crawled in the GOT regarding justice achieved through bombing… and regarding religion itself. What If?

What if good deeds Are not enough? What if they feed you All this crap And then dispose of you Like scrap? Time to open your eyes, see a way through their disguise, yeah! What if injustice Is all they sow? What if you’re not Supposed to know The way they scheme The way they lie The way they drain you Till you die? Time to open your eyes, see a way through their disguise! Why can’t we live The way we are, Always a tyrant, A priest, a czar They want you bent, They want you numb And they will nag you Till you’re dumb Time to open our eyes, and see a way through their disguise! Without the armies, Without police We can stand proud, Can live in peace Without their borders, Without their walls Brothers and sisters We’ll stand up tall! Like in dear John’s vision he had fifty years ago What if we unite What if we fight For our freedom For our rights Against oppression, Against all odds We’ll see all crooked Tyrants fall! Like in dear John’s vision he had fifty years ago today!
