​PROJECTS

Brock Buchanan: "Premonitory"
Diplomacy is Easy.
Family is complicated.
Assassination?
Now that’s personal.

Picture

​When a battle-hardened Diplomatic Security agent is assigned to protect the newly appointed Secretary of State—his no-nonsense ex-girlfriend from 20 years ago—their mission to safeguard a historic U.S.-Cuba summit is derailed by cartel assassins, buried secrets, and unresolved sparks. Backed by their two sons—one a decorated Marine pilot, the other a New York firefighter—this fractured family must navigate political chaos, personal trauma, and a deadly conspiracy that threatens to ignite an international crisis. Think The West Wing meets Sicario with a touch of Succession-style dysfunction.
