The Iron Heel

A manuscript found in a hollow oak seven centuries later, written by a woman who watched an oligarchy take the United States. You play Avis, a professor's daughter, who meets a socialist at her father's dinner table in 1912 and begins checking his claims because she fully expects to disprove them. A hundred and sixteen chapters from a dinner-party argument to a crushed revolt, told by someone who knows the ending.
