EVERY SHADOW HAS A NAME — Action Screenplay

Ward's career has been a masterclass in controlled betrayal. He married late, lived quietly, and rose through the counterintelligence division with the patience of a man who understood exactly how long the long game took. Now the biggest investigation of his life is looking for him, and his Russian handler has gone silent. To survive, Ward has to lead a team of professionals through a case whose only honest witness is the suspect running the case. Every shadow in Langley has a name, and the one in his own office is the one he has been hiding from the longest.

James Ward has been a Russian asset inside the CIA for eleven years. Today he was promoted to lead the agency's mole hunt. By tonight he will learn the target of the hunt is him, and the only person who can catch the mole first is the mole.
