Synopsis/Details
1971. A Vietnam War veteran named Joe, known as "The Tramp," lives a drifter's life, unattached to anything. Joe remembers nothing of his past life except for the war. Joe meets a successful young businessman named Dan, whose last name is similar to Joe's nickname. This character resembles Donald Trump in appearance and mannerisms. Joe later saves Dan from a killer and learns that Dan has influential enemies.
2028. New York. Mulligan's dream is to create a digital world as an alternative to the human one. In this new world—a world of the "free mind"—humanity would be liberated from mortal flesh, which Mulligan believes is the source of all humanity's troubles. Mulligan achieves a scientific breakthrough in the field of artificial intelligence, creating the first AI module independent of the system: the interactive module Joe "The Tramp." "The Tramp" functions in a digital world, in a 1971 temporal program. The digital world is a reflection of the real world, and the segments of the digital world do not know that they are not human, a fact equally unknown to Joe "The Tramp." Mulligan embedded the memory and skills of a Vietnam veteran into "The Tramp's" mind, while also creating him to look like himself and giving him his own name. The goal of the people funding Mulligan's project is to establish control over the digital double of the businessman Dan, a future political star, in the past, and then manipulate him. Upon learning the truth about himself , Joe is outraged by Mulligan's manipulation and decides to play by his own rules. He uses the code he obtained from Li to penetrate the "control location," where he creates a collapse of the space-time continuum, changing reality. As a result, the political situation in the US and the entire human world changes.
