Max Strong's Journey

Max Strong, a former special forces operator, is a man torn apart by the murder of his wife, a former federal prosecutor, and the framing for the crime that landed him in prison. After newly discovered evidence, and the Pro Bono work of a powerful attorney, leads to his convictions being overturned and his release, his mind is set on seeking justice for his slain wife and getting answers along the way.

New Career and Uncovering the Truth

Taking on a new career as a contractor for Defense Corporation, a provider of private military and intelligence services for the US government, he uses his position within the powerful company to uncover the facts and find the trails that lead to the people responsible for his wife’s death and his false imprisonment for the crime.

Working with Transnational Crime

His first assignment with the defense contractor is to take on the role of a hired professional gun for transnational organized crime groups, providing his connections, skills and trade secrets to various outfits, including a Colombian cartel with operations throughout the U.S. He’s not breaking the law though, as ironic as he views the work, it is sanctioned and coordinated by the government through Defense Corporation, a multibillion-dollar enterprise that does the deeds deemed too dirty or politically sensitive for the military or CIA to handle directly.

Funding and Operations

The funding for the actions comes from the secret coffers of the federal government, the so-called "Special Access Programs" or "Deep Black" programs of Uncle Sam.

Travel and Personal Life

Finding love, and lust during the course of his endeavors for vengeance, Max goes from Washington D.C. to New Orleans, to Miami, New York City and Colombia, traveling the lands and working with some of the most sophisticated and dangerous bad guys in the business.

The Cost of Justice

As his new career and the hunt for justice begins materializing, Max embraces the concept that sometimes you have to do some bad to achieve a greater good, and that justice comes at a high cost.

The Story's Themes

This is a story of Power, Love, Hate, and the distance a man holding onto his core principles and pride is willing to go to fulfill a vow of justice to a loved one whose life was taken as a means of covering up the dark truths of corporate greed, corruption, and the politics as usual mentality of the elite who control the optics of the nation.
