UNIQUE SELLING POINT

This script distinguishes itself by grounding a high-concept thriller in the specific, methodical skillset of a gamekeeper—a profession rarely explored in the genre. The unique Scottish Highlands setting becomes both character and tactical landscape, while the procedural detail of surveillance and rural infiltration feels fresh and authentic. Unlike many revenge thrillers, it maintains a tight focus on the protagonist's specific military training and the emotional reality of parental desperation, avoiding gratuitous violence in favor of strategic, purposeful action.

STANDOUT FEATURES

Unique Hook: The story revolves around a father's desperate and illegal quest to rescue his daughter from a child trafficking ring, blending action with emotional stakes.
Major Twist: The revelation of the extent of the trafficking network and the involvement of local authorities adds layers of complexity to the narrative.
Distinctive Setting: The contrasting settings of the misty Scottish Highlands and the urban landscape of Tirana provide a rich backdrop for the story.
