The story has adventure, conflict, and twist. The characters are imperfect and fallable but driven and believable. The subject matter is relevant and timely. The historical fiction sets a worldly tone with twists on famous persons from the past. Add in the backdrop of the 2016 Presidential election with an unsolved murder where the front-runner of the Republican party is the main suspect and you have the makings of a blockbuster movie.
