STRGZR
By Talece Brown

GENRE: Sci-fi, Thriller
LOGLINE:

An elite government team discover an Industrialist has gone rogue with his space station and satellites in the new private space industry race. Three Days of The Condor meets Spy Game in Space.

SYNOPSIS:

Laura is undercover in Yemen on a mission that goes wrong. Her government handler, Geneve watches from Edwards Air Force Base as a US drone attack fails. Laura kills the terrorist but is captured. Interrogator Specialist Cole brings in Special Ops to rescue her. Scarred and damaged, Laura goes inactive, retreating to a cabin on the Northern California Coast.

In Amsterdam, Cole finds a satellite program linked to Jonathan Kane and his space station STRGZR. They convince Laura to go undercover on STRGZR as a programmer, telling her they believe it was Kane's PRISM program that rerouted the drone attack in Yemen. She agrees when she finds a link Kane could be using PRISM to affect NATO defense shields with Russia, China and the Mid East. Kane has gone rogue with satellite and defense codes for sale and barter. Her mission is to find the program and embed a hybrid code to track and destroy it.

Geneve puts Laura into DOD/cyber defense training with NASA at Edwards. Cole pulls together an international network of rogue hackers, Gao Ling in Shanghai and paranoid German Hacker "The Boot" hiding in the mountains of South America.

Laura is launched to STRGZR, a space station designed for tourism. A tourist destination designed for pleasure. She cracks the code and is discovered by her only friend on STRGZR. Silicon Valley prodigy Walter, who is Kane's son and Security Chief Atrovsky. Geneve traces a transmission to Langley revealing a "kill order" on Laura.

Trapped on STRGZR, Laura races to embed the hybrid code liking PRISM to Cole and The Boot in the mountains of Chili. Geneve calls in a favor from the Japanese on the International Space Station. Geneve watches Laura kill Atrovsky and escape to a robotic repair module. NASA/DOD programmers lock on reprogramming the module to the ISS, as "The Boot" locks onto PRISM codes. On STRGZR, Walter is entering satellite codes for another hack as the screen flickers. A digital Dungeness Crab Pac-Man eats his way across the lines of code as the hybrid virus morphs its way through the PRISM program.

Geneve watches the satellite feed on his cell of another Soyuz capsule with Japanese Astronaut Takagi and Laura successfully landing in Kazakhstan as he walks down the familiar hall of CIA to catch a spy. Kane disappears to his server base in Iceland as PRISM systems begin shutting down. He looks up as Cole casually leans against the doorway. Another interrogation.

Laura is back off the grid in LA. She looks up from the back patio of Pink's as a sedan idles in the alley next to her. Geneve and Cole calmly wait as Laura sighs, dumping her tray. She gets into the car. Another mission.
