Wyatt Morgan, a gifted engineer, awakes in a hospital after a mugging. Battered physically and mentally, he fights to recover from amnesia and from crushing depression brought on by the failure of his business and the squandered investments of his friends. Jobless and facing foreclosure on his house, he battles a collapsing economy and the conniving industrialist who stole his invention.
Lauren, his wife, struggles to understand her husbands affair with an ex-business partner while wrestling to keep her family together. Broke, she is forced to placate creditors by selling her deceased mothers belongings to raise money. In desperation, Wyatt enlists an aggressive attorney in an attempt to recover his patent and is encouraged when evidence of fraud and industrial espionage turn up. But now he must face a bureaucratic nightmare with government regulators who block attempts to revive his company.
Wyatt, determined to regain what was his, volunteers to help elect a renegade general to the presidency. As the election looms and litigation on the patent moves forward, Wyatt and Lauren hope that new leadership in Washington will create an era of bright prosperity and bring their company back to life.
