A Screenplay for a Film That Never Was... After seeing his entire unit die in a failed black op, Brahm Tanner retreats from the military and even his family. Now running a freelance hostage retrieval unit, life-and business-are good. At least until the President of the United States insists on hiring him. A covert, underground facility has gone dark, apparently taken over by its own commander. Why the military of the most powerful nation on Earth is now standing down, however, and who the partners in this "shared" facility truly are, the President refuses to say. Every instinct tells Brahm to walk away. And every experience says that he and his current team are being set up as scapegoats. Then the President names the commander of the base: General Benjamin Tanner. Brahm's father.
