Plot Summary

Officer Collins has been spearheading one of the US Army's most secretive experiments to date: the Human Hibernation Project. If successful, the project would store its subjects indefinitely until they are needed most. Their first test subject, Joe Bauers, was not chosen for his superiority. Instead, he's chosen because he's the most average guy in the armed services. But scandal erupts after the experiment takes place: the base is closed and the President denies any knowledge of the project. Unfortunately, Joe doesn't wake up in 1 year but in 500. During that time, human evolution has taken a dramatic downturn. After waking up, Joe takes a prison-assigned IQ test and finds that he's the smartest guy alive. Awaiting a full presidential pardon if he can solve one of the country's biggest problems--the dwindling plant population--Joe races against time to solve this problem, but he alienates half the country in the process. Can he make things right and escape a bizarre execution?
