Geoff arrived home, was arrested, tried, found guilty, and executed for his fiancees' murder-a crime he did not commit. He awoke from a drug-induced coma to learn his execution had been faked and he now owed the Club the next ten years of his life. He accepted the Club's conditions and became a member--there was no choice. The Founding Fathers having fled tyrannical monarchies of Europe established the Club as insurance against their greatest fear-a corrupt and ever expanding central government. The first name on the Club's founding documents can be found on the American Declaration of Independence.
