In the Name of Order

Filming should begin soon (in a reality we are actively imagining)…

In a present-day United States under an increasingly authoritarian administration, a young law student is drawn into a covert domestic resistance by a charismatic underground leader. As constitutional protections erode and political power is enforced through fear, secrecy, and selective prosecution, she is trained for operations far beyond protest or litigation.

Operating in the shadows, she becomes the most feared and elusive figure targeting the regime’s highest enforcers, striking at those who design and execute the machinery of repression while evading an expanding surveillance and security state. With every success, her legend grows and so does the intensity of the hunt to capture her.

But violence carries a price. As the line between justice and vengeance blurs, she is forced to confront the human cost of resistance and the reality that no system relinquishes power without destruction. The story culminates in a final reckoning with an administration whose authority depends not on consent, but on obedience.

In the Name of Order is a gripping prestige political thriller about courage, sacrifice, and the dangerous power of resistance when democratic institutions fail from within.

I like to think a good companion piece for my other proposed film…
