AMERICAN DREAM, AMERICAN NIGHTMARE — Action Screenplay

Daniel Marsh has been a loving husband, a little league coach, and a midwestern insurance adjuster for twenty years. None of it is real. When the activation phrase leaves his wife's lips over morning coffee, his programming takes over and a target list uploads into his memory. The first name on it is his son's teacher. What his handlers did not account for is that his wife, the woman who recruited him, has been quietly losing faith in the cause for years. Together they have six hours and one chance to burn the operation that owns them before the operation burns them first.

The sleeper agent's programming activated at the breakfast table. His wife knew the code word. She was the one who said it. Now they have six hours to decide whether to finish the mission or destroy the agency that built their marriage.
