Samenvatting:

Europe, the near future. France and Germany prepare to vote on ROME, Europe's ubiquitous social network, on a historical union to create a new superpower. But first, a debate between pro-Europe vlogger Miss Cliché and disgraced former Paris mayor Vincent d'Amont. Can Miss Cliché survive powerplay and betrayal to fight the cause and save the Union?

Europe. Great Britain has long-since left the Union, but tensions between European countries remain and the international balance of power is firmly weighted towards China and the US. Seizing the opportunity for an unexpected comeback, disgraced former Paris mayor Vincent d’Amont makes an outrageous proposal: France and Germany should unite to create a new superpower: Charlemagny.

The question will be put to the people in an historic vote on ROME, the ubiquitous social network of Europe. But, outraged by the progress of events and fearing a new order based on chaos and conflict, political vlogger Miss Cliché engages in a fierce battle against Vincent and his cronies. A bumpy journey filled with post-truth news and scorching betrayal lies ahead.

Can Miss Cliché discover who is running the all-powerful ROME and reveal the real forces behind Charlemagny? And can she keep her own feelings under control before Charlemagny becomes a reality?
