That is all set up.
Then you go on to tell us that, now 20 years later, his daughter is president and he must rescue her. Which is highly improbable.
It seems to me that the ‘hook’ to the story is the idea that there is a potential “Hitler in the making” who was president and a Secret Service agent ends up killing him in order to save the Presidency and our nation’s freedoms.
Since that seems to be the hook, that is the story you should tell.
Tell the story of a secret service agents moral dilemma. Tell the story of a President spiraling into madness.
That is a far more compelling story.
