Synopsis/Details

GHOST WARRANT is a high-stakes, character-driven action thriller that blends the gritty realism of Sicario with the ensemble intensity of The Dirty Dozen and the relentless momentum of The Rock.

When a covert government unit known as “Ghost Warrant” deploys a team of deniable operatives—convicts with specialized military backgrounds—to eliminate a rogue whistleblower, the mission appears routine. But when the target, Daniel Voss, reveals that their past operations were not just classified—but fabricated to justify global interventions—the team begins to question everything they’ve done.

As they move through a hostile foreign city under constant surveillance, the operatives uncover a hidden program designed to manufacture instability, then “correct” it through targeted violence. The deeper they go, the clearer it becomes: they were never sent to stop Voss—they were sent to replace him.

Hunted by their own command structure and cut off from support, the team fractures under pressure as loyalties shift, truths surface, and survival instincts clash with conscience. Led by the disciplined but increasingly conflicted Mercer, they must decide whether to complete their mission—or expose a system built on lies, no matter the global consequences.

In a final, explosive confrontation, the team faces the architect of the program, forcing a choice between control and truth—one that could destabilize the world or finally hold it accountable.

Topical themes: government overreach, manufactured conflict, truth vs control
Streaming + theatrical viability (action + prestige tone crossover)
Built-in sequel potential: aftermath of exposed global system

The Writer: Gary Rose

I’m an multi-optioned screenwriter who, in a previous life, served as a police detective, mastering the delicate art of negotiating hostage situations. Retirement led me down a different path—teaching and writing—a journey that began with my first non-fiction book, which became an Amazon best-seller. That success ignited my passion for storytelling and introduced the world to my indomitable protagonist, FBI agent Jeannie Loomis. Believing that the ends justify the means, Jeannie has become the heart of a gripping 18-novel thriller series. My historical fiction script The Beautiful Beast was selected as a quarter-finalist in the 2025 PAGE competition. The Phantom Train script was selected in… Go to bio
