Freelance 2023

Mason Petit is a former Army Ranger turned family man whose life is far less exciting than it once was. His perilous globe-trotting days in the military have been replaced by a grinding career as an unsuccessful lawyer and a marriage on the rocks. This all changes when a former military buddy approaches him with a job, working security for the award-winning and fearless journalist Claire Wellington. Wellington has scored a world-first interview with a notorious and eccentric South American dictator, Venegas. Petit jumps at the chance and hops on a plane without second thought. Upon touchdown, Petit’s suburban hell turns into a life-or-death nightmare. Caught up in a violent, orchestrated coup, Petit must work with Wellington and the morally ambiguous Venegas to escape the country alive.
