It is the year 2012, and conspiracy theories are thriving. Many believe this is the year when a race of shape-shifting reptilian aliens will finally enact their plan to create a New World Order, wipe out most of the human race and use the survivors as their slaves... Jason Ford, the first minister of Scotland, is fed up with people thinking he's a lizard from outer space. So he asks one of his press officers, Mark Snowden, to engage with the conspiracy theorists and try to dispel their fears. Mark's new position brings him into contact with David Risby, founder of an influential conspiracy website. Initially they find little common ground, but as first minister Ford talks more and more about God's plans for humanity, Mark starts to wonder if David and his followers are actually on to something... Are the conspiracy theorists right? Is a secret elite plotting the extermination and subjugation of the human race? And where exactly does God fit into all this, anyway?
