LOGLINE

Hunter Harrison has just saved the ex-president’s life. However, he struggles to save his own as the incumbent President dispatches him to Moscow. His mission is to foil a plot to take out the Russian President. The Year 2035.

SYNOPSIS 

Hunter Harrison searches constantly for happiness that has eluded him since his divorce and the loss of contact with his step children, Maya and Tim. Cheating on Scarlett proves costly – financially and emotionally. Now, his aims are to find a partner, settle down, raise a family, and promise never to be unfaithful no matter what. He figures that a ranch in the wilderness and the rejection of any further Black-Ops-type missions will certainly help.

Could his psychiatrist Delilah Docherty, possibly be a partner? She follows up on his progress. He pictures her again ... reserved but chatty, educated, maybe too smart for his dreams.

A Korean agent offers him an assignment to rub out Rick Manning, the ex-president of the U.S. He accepts the mission in the hope of it being his last big pay day. But true to his patriotic principles he turns his sniper’s rifle on his paymasters. He spares the President’s life, yet acting outside the official line-of-command turns him into an outlaw. Seven more dead bodies are added to his CV. He writes a letter addressed to the ex-President and gives it to Maria Merola, his campaign manager, to pass on. It details the reasons for the mission which leaves Hunter traumatised. Rick Manning passes the letter to the incumbent president Warren Freeman who pardons Hunter, honors The Squad and recommends they all take an all-expenses-paid holiday to Moscow. But there is a hidden motive with unexpected results.

Upon returning from Moscow, Hunter looks up Delilah. The couch therapy ends up leaving him in a more confused state so he proposes to Maria Merola. The marriage ceremony takes place at the ex-president’s house. Freeman re-introduces himself via a secure link on the day and invites him to the Oval Office. Two presidents and a hero in whom they both have an investment.  

In a private ceremony in the Oval Office, Freeman places the ‘Medal of Honor’ around Hunter’s neck. Warren insists that Hunter takes on a mission in Moscow to safeguard the Russian President. He is not prepared to take a “No” for an answer. Maria, now pregnant, is taken aback perceiving this will stand in her way to achieving full happiness. She discusses this point... amicably at first.

Using Panda diplomacy, Beijing sends a Chinese Hit Squad to Moscow based in Moscow Zoo. It is headed by Gracie Chang. Nikita Ivanov and Sergei Kushnikov, his Defense Chief, meet Hunter. Anna Kushnikova is Sergei’s daughter. She is Ex-Army weapons specialist, Head of Intelligence working under the guise at the Moscow Zoo. Hunter figures out the mechanics of the Chinese plot and foils it spectacularly. The attempt ends with the death of Gracie. It becomes known as Pandagate.

Plan B is implemented and unfolds near Vladivostok, in the remote joint Sino-Russian Ursus Research Center, a hub for Chinese clandestine activities. Hunter engineers the assault on the Center which reveals the depth of the infiltration. It ends up with a military takeover of the Center by the Russian elite Alpha Group and prevents a doomsday scenario in three major cities. Guided by nobler principles, Hunter shies away from Anna’s advances and his second-in-command Jessie Jacobson proves to be a better catch. With the mission accomplished they head back to Moscow for a very unusual ceremony, then on to Washington.

Now on his ranch, Hunter could easily parade no less than five medals.  None of them could help fix severed happiness that lies ahead due to tragic immediate family circumstances, and those arising from other past social contacts. He shows human kindness where none is expected. But the strain takes a heavy toll on him.
