DEAD LINE — Action Screenplay

Alex Ruiz never wanted to be a whistleblower. He was auditing server logs at a state election office when the numbers stopped matching the certified totals, and by the time he understood what he was seeing, his employer was already a target. Now he is running through the underground with an encrypted drive, a dying phone, and a real time countdown that the entire federal government is racing to beat. Every percentage point on his battery is a chance the story makes it out alive. Every minute is a chance it does not.

A systems admin stole proof of a stolen election and ran for the subway. Federal agents are already tracking his phone. His battery is at thirty eight percent. The truth has one hundred minutes to reach daylight.
