Synopsis/Details
In the heart of Alaska, retired Marine Jason finds himself behind the wheel of a semi-truck, navigating the icy roads while delivering a mysterious load. What starts as an ordinary day quickly spirals into a high-octane thriller when he notices a black Buick tailing him, its two occupants clearly up to no good. As they chase him up the treacherous slopes of Denali, it's clear they're intent on stealing whatever he's hauling. Just when things couldn’t get crazier, an old Ford truck joins the pursuit with three more armed men, and another semi slams into Jason’s rig, sending it teetering over the edge of the mountain. With a lifetime of military training kicking in, Jason makes a split-second decision to leap to safety, rolling onto the snowy ground below. What follows is a heart-pounding showdown. Armed with nothing but his Colt Magnum and sheer determination, Jason takes on the attackers in a battle that tests his skills and resolve. With bullets flying and the stakes higher than ever, he fights not just for survival but to thwart a sinister plot that threatens to engulf him. As the dust settles and police helicopters hover overhead, the authorities move in to apprehend the remaining threats. Jason emerges not just as a survivor but as a warrior, taking down four of his assailants in a gripping display of courage and strategy. This isn’t just a story of action and chase; it’s a testament to the indomitable spirit of a man pushed to his limits, reminding us that sometimes, the fiercest battles happen when we least expect them.

At 16, I typed my first screenplay on a typewriter, pouring my heart into every scene. Life took a detour when I became a wife and mother, but now I’m back—more driven than ever. I’ve just completed my fourth screenplay, with several more in the works. I'm especially drawn to action, thriller, suspense, and romance. Though I’m not a martial artist myself, I'm a huge fan of MMA and Kung Fu, and I love channeling that energy and discipline into the worlds I build on the page. Writing is my passion, my therapy, and my… Go to bio
