Synopsis:  In March 1981, Roger Fisher published an article detailing a new, more personal form of nuclear deterrence: The nuclear launch codes would be surgically placed behind a volunteer's beating heart, meaning a president would have to kill one person before killing millions. In this dark political comedy, Fisher's proposal becomes an alternate 1980s reality.
