Traitor

by Michael Wisner
An adaptation of a Dan Sherman book. 

Genre: Thriller. Period.

A string of ritualistic, execution murders surround Washington’s intelligence apparatus during the Revolutionary War. These fall to a damaged, dark knight operative to solve. The outcome could change the entire course of the war and the fate of a new nation. As in Titanic, Braveheart, Gladiator:  historical detail surrounds a fictional story. The film captures actual, state of the art technology in the 18th Century including the first submarine invented by Bushnell at Yale, the first polygraph, ciphers, code devices invented by Thomas Jefferson, and the use of hot air balloon for surveillance. The devices and major characters at first glance may seem James Bond-like but are based upon actual historical fact.
