Synopsis/Details
Think "Gran Torino" meets "The Road to Perdition." Cole Wheeler, a decorated Army veteran and former military investigator, lives a quiet life tending bar in a luxury hotel—until tragedy forces him into action. When Valerie Saint James, a high-end escort and a close friend, is brutally murdered in what the police dismiss as a routine robbery gone wrong, Cole refuses to accept their negligence. Haunted by guilt and driven by his investigative instincts, Cole sets out to uncover the truth, even if it means risking his own life. As Cole navigates the seedy underbelly of the city, he confronts ruthless pimps, corrupt officials, and powerful crime lords, each step pulling him deeper into a conspiracy that extends far beyond Valerie's death. Along the way, he discovers shocking secrets about her past, including ties to the city's elite and a cryptic digital trail of illicit transactions. Fighting against time, betrayal, and his own scars—both physical and emotional—Cole pieces together the puzzle, determined to bring Valerie's killer to justice. But justice comes at a cost, and as Cole edges closer to the truth, he must face the dark reality of what it means to truly honor the dead while protecting the living. Gritty, raw, and emotionally charged, One Man's Justice is an unflinching exploration of loyalty, redemption, and the lengths one man will go to in pursuit of the truth.

The Writer: Scott Sawitz

I write genre-driven character studies populated by people at their worst — complex, flawed, and typically off-balance. My scripts mix dark thrills with off-kilter humor amid the absurdities of life. My feature Save State is streaming now on Tubi, Amazon, FuboTV, iTunes, ReVeel and a number of other places. It's a great watch, I'd like to think! I’ve been optioned four times, worked as a freelance sports writer, and I’ll probably make you laugh (or roll your eyes) before I do anything else. Oh — and my dog is cuter than yours. Go to bio
