Synopsis/Details
The Judas Line is a brutal, high-stakes thriller that forces a man to face the demons of his past in a desperate fight for the family he loves. Michael Stone, a decorated Marine turned suburban father, has left behind the violence of his past for a life of peace with his wife, Sara, and son, Tyler. But when Hector—his former brother-in-arms from the criminal underworld—reappears, Michael’s world shatters.
Hector, fueled by years of betrayal and rage, takes everything Michael holds dear—his wife and child. The bond between them, marked by the tattoo of The Judas Line, is no longer a symbol of loyalty but of revenge. Hector wants more than justice—he wants to make Michael bleed, and he’ll stop at nothing to destroy everything Michael’s built.
With his family in the hands of a man who once shared his every secret, Michael is thrust back into a world of blood, betrayal, and violence he thought he escaped. As he hunts Hector through a gritty landscape of old allies and enemies, Michael is forced to confront the man he once was—the monster he had to become to survive. The question isn’t just whether he can save his family; it’s whether he can keep his humanity in the process.
The closer Michael gets to Hector, the more he is pulled back into the darkness of his past. To save his family, he must descend into the hell he fought so hard to leave behind. In the end, Michael faces a brutal, explosive choice: save his family by becoming the very monster he feared, or risk losing them forever.
The Judas Line is a relentless thriller about loyalty, betrayal, and the thin line between justice and revenge. Packed with raw emotion and brutal action, it’s a story of one man’s fight not just to survive—but to reclaim his soul from the past that threatens to consume him.
