Synopsis/Details
Milton Choctaw is a proud and resilient Native American who owns a successful casino in Nevada. His life takes a tumultuous turn when he faces off against Christopher S. Attaway, a politically connected rival who taunts Milton over his government affiliations and harbors resentment for losing a romantic interest to him. Milton's journey of self-discovery began when he was drawn to the nightlife of Brazil, which led him to become an undercover hitman. Anonymity and duality were key to his success in this dangerous world. Now, as the owner of a casino empire, Milton must balance his hidden past with his present responsibilities. The Choctaw family, well-respected in Nevada and Washington, D.C., faces an existential threat when Scott Walters, a politically motivated figure, seeks to shut down their casino, which was established as reparations for historical injustices. The family, led by Milton's father, Biisan, who fought tirelessly for their rights, bands together to confront this challenge head-on. The screenplay weaves through flashbacks of Biisan’s battles for justice and Milton’s present-day struggles, highlighting the unity and strength of the Choctaw family. As Milton also navigates a budding romance with Erin Ballinger, a social media influencer who enters his life unexpectedly, he draws on his family's legacy, resilience, and faith to overcome the threats posed by Walters and Attaway. In Milton the Great, a gripping tale of deception, resilience, and the blurred lines between allies and enemies, Milton Choctaw finds himself caught in a deadly game where survival is the ultimate test. Milton, an undercover cop with a concealed identity, is presumed missing after a mission to infiltrate a powerful drug cartel goes dark. Posing as a government official, Andre Scott Newman—a man with his own mysterious motives—tracks down Gisele, a woman connected to Milton, to extract crucial information. Andre claims it’s a matter of national security, but his true intentions remain shrouded in suspicion. Meanwhile, Milton, narrowly escaping captivity by ruthless bandits in Brazil, returns home to Las Vegas. Reuniting with his family, he downplays the perilous ordeal, eager to leave the horrors behind and reconnect with his loved ones. But even as he seeks solace, Milton senses that the shadow of his past is far from gone. As Milton reaches out to Andre, confirming the elimination of a key threat, Jose, an unspoken tension hangs in the air. Both men harbor secrets, each questioning the other's loyalty and agenda. Andre, consumed by curiosity and unease, digs deeper into Milton’s life, while Milton grows increasingly wary of Andre’s actions. With his worldview forever altered by his time in captivity, Milton realizes that trust is a luxury he can no longer afford. Determined to protect himself and uncover the truth about Andre’s motives, he sets out on a path fraught with danger, betrayal, and revelations. As their stories converge, Milton the Great explores themes of identity, loyalty, and the thin line between hero and villain. In a world where everyone has something to hide, Milton must decide whom to trust—if anyone at all—before the past catches up with him for good.
