Double Down (2005) Neil Breen

The controversial story of a lone genius who closes down the Las Vegas Strip... The government can't stop him. As he reunites with his dead girlfriend each night.

Plot: Aaron, a brilliant computer hacker/bio weapon terrorist (& former government agent, with biomechanical implants) his hired by an unknown terrorist organization to shut down the Las Vegas strip for a short period of time. Aaron, plagued by visions of his dead wife (and his parents at one point) accepts the job.

It is revealed that Aaron is a cynical former government agent, and is the best secret agent that there ever was. Because of this the government attempted to assassinate him, but killed his wife instead. Ever since Aaron has camped out in the Mojave Desert. In order to maintain his safety he has set up safeguards to make sure no one can kill him; such as an invisibility shield that kills any unauthorized person and biological bombs planted in several major cities that will explode if he doesn't punch in a code every 48 hours.

While wandering the desert he meets a mystical old man who dies after hitting his head against a rock, but not before giving Aaron a magical rock that endows him with powers. Armed with this rock he visits an old friend from the government agency and attempts to cure his friend's daughter's brain cancer.

Neil Breen is an American who can't understand why bad things happen to him because he loves his country.
