Synopsis/Details
When a down-on-his-luck photographer stumbles across a mysterious NASA-era camera at a garage sale, he thinks he’s found a rare collectible. But inside is something far more dangerous—something people are willing to kill for.
With his son unexpectedly drawn into the chaos, the photographer is forced into a high-stakes chase that spans city streets, government archives, and desert ruins long forgotten. As he scrambles to uncover the truth, he finds himself pursued by federal agents, international operatives, and a cold-eyed fixer with a personal stake in keeping secrets buried.
The deeper he digs, the more the world around him unravels: friends become enemies, mentors reveal double lives, and history itself begins to fracture. What begins as a curious discovery spirals into a deadly game of deception, blackmail, and conspiracy at the highest levels.
Set against the backdrop of forgotten space missions and Cold War fallout, Hasselblad is a propulsive, emotionally grounded thriller that mixes Capricorn One, Enemy of the State, and Three Days of the Condor with a modern, character-driven core. It explores the price of truth in a world that prefers comforting myths.
