The Story
Logline: Three years into his hunt for the terrorists who killed his wife and daughter, a former spy uncovers an international conspiracy linked to a decades-old war crime and $14 billion in Japanese war gold.
Eight Thirty Two is a smart, character-driven action thriller about profound loss and redemption. At its heart, a human story with strong, identifiable leading characters: Jack Cayman, a self-assured, sympathetic man, whose raison d’etre is hunting down the terrorists who murdered his wife and daughter, and Katie McGraw, an intelligent, through-line ally, whose compassion and ingenuity are integral to the arc and resolution of the story.
“I would have thought you trusted me enough by now to keep me in the loop.”
– Katie McGraw
“What do you want me to say, Katie? That I’m chasing another shadow? It’s not in me to just sit back, and hope and pray, pretend that all of this is somehow going to go away, that I’ll wake up one morning and he’ll be dead. That’s not who I am right now, and until and unless I find some resolution, whatever that looks like, I’m gonna continue to turn over however many stones it takes if it puts me one step closer to al-Amati. Besides, why should you carry this burden too? ”
— Jack Cayman
“Maybe because I care what happens to you? ”
– Katie McGraw
