Duke, 45, is the President of the United States. At the Super bowl he is shot. On the way to the hospital Duke’s ambulance is hi-jacked. Sengal, 55, and his terrorists threaten to kill Duke unless he reads a statement claiming he has been wrong for getting involved in the recent war. CTU agents rescue Duke and he recovers from his gun shot wound. Sengal escapes. A month later on Air Force One Duke is told of the imminent threat of a nuclear bomb going off in Washington. Air Force One is then shot down and crashes into the Pacific. The first family and five other survivors end up on Faresi Island.

Things are fine at first then strange things happen including strange noises and shapes in the jungle. The terrorists have found Duke on the island and threaten to kill him. With the help from the survivors he manages to stay alive. However, Duke is actually in a coma since he was shot at the Superbowl, he has to swim off the island in order to come out of the coma. The world prays that Duke can swim to safety.

After more attempts on his life and swimming through shark infested waters he swims to safety. America is happy they have their President back. A month later while signing a global peace treaty a nuclear bomb goes off. He is killed. Back on Faresi Island we see Michael for the first time. It is he who is in the coma, not Duke, and everything we have seen from the first scene has been Michael’s dream. Michael is not the President of the United States but is a janitor in a local school. His DVD collection includes 24, Lost, James Bond films and Jaws. What he hears on his hospital bed becomes his reality on Faresi Island.

On his birthday, five years after entering the coma his family decide to turn off his life support machine. This was his last chance to escape; his brain can’t take any more “nuclear bombs” going off. Faresi Island disappears as Michael takes his last breath.
