Dream View Two -- The Kamikaze Candidate

Near miss to our universe, one too close for comfort has similar problems.  The future has found it necessary to become involved in the political-environmental drama that has always been inherent to civilization.  Apathetic and ill-prepared protagonist, Jeff, is enlisted to find a way to save the future from the past, in the present.  Much like our culture, entertainment and political realms overlap or morph, from one to the other. Jeff utilizes his skills and gains more, along the way, before he realizes the only answer.  Will he achieve the change to leave his pupa stage behind?
