About film
Psychological thriller set for summer of 2026 in Las Vegas.
Logline
After escaping a sophisticated trafficking ring tied to powerful senator , a traumatized Josh known as " Unit 9" risks everything to expose the truth through a controversial podcast. His desperate act ignites a deadly battle against the system determined to silence him, forcing him to confront ultimate cost of reclaiming voice and identity.
Synopsis
Josh tears out of a Las Vegas mansion barefoot, bloodied, and half mad with fear.
Gunfire shatters the night behind him, and his dog falls in the chaos as he runs for
his life. He comes to in a hospital bed under special agency lights, where the questions are
colder than the wounds less about how he survived than who he belongs to. In a rush of
flashbacks, the machinery of conditioning, exploitation, and political protection emerges
around Senator Forrest.
Josh slips away once more and finds brief refuge in a church, where he reaches out in
secret to podcaster Rachel Quinn and names himself only as "Unit 9". But the moment he
goes live, the backlash is immediate and ruthless. While captive children wait for rescue,
Father Abraham mobilizes a covert strike from the senator’s estate, and the hunt to silence
Josh turns deadly.
The dawn of reckoning
At dawn, survivors confront a media storm, forcing Josh to decide: stay hidden in the shadows, or reclaim his true identity and face the consequences. This is a journey of reclaiming agency against a vast, corrupt machine.
Beyond the conspiracy
This is not a conspiracy thriller. It is a profound story about voice, agency, and moral courage in the face of systemic oppression. We explore the deep human cost of seeking justice.
1. Navigating the aftermath of profound trauma and exploitation.
2. The dangers of challenging entrenched power structures.
3. The journey from being a number to becoming a person.
4. Moral conviction confronting cynical self interest.
5. The power and pitfalls of online activism and journalism.
Why now?

We need your help
We are seeking to raise a production budget of $150,000 to independently produce our feature film during a scheduled three week shoot in Las Vegas. These funds will directly support the essential costs required to bring this important story to life.
The budget will cover cast and crew compensation, filming permits, equipment rentals, locations, transportation, lodging, production design, wardrobe, meals, insurance, post-production, and other critical production expenses. As independent filmmakers, we rely on community support and donations to create meaningful films.
This project is more than a film, it is an awareness initiative intended to shine light on the realities of child trafficking, support organizations with the same mission, and inspire conversations that can lead to education, prevention, and action. Every contribution helps us tell this story responsibly and ensures we can complete the production at the highest possible standard while remaining independent and mission driven.
Thank you in advance
Your support and contributions will enable us to meet our goals and fund our mission.
