Synopsis/Details
Michael Masters is a disturbed ex-Marine turned private investigator (30’s) struggling with a lackluster marriage. He has a passion for justice, a weakness for prostitutes, and he's at odds with his wife, Celeste, (20’s) a staunch feminist, who has fallen for Michael's twin brother, Billy (William Chambers, an ousted White House Secret Service agent.)
Based on tips found on internet forums, Michael suspects a conspiracy led by American sleeper cells. As Michael digs deeper into the web of homegrown terrorism, he finally comes face-to-face with its mastermind.
Systematically, everything and everyone Michael believes in, including his wife, quickly unravels into the unthinkable as he confronts his long-lost twin brother in a final deadly battle of wills.
