SOLDIERS OF GOD

Jack Dalton is engaged to Megan Clark, a woman whose surface elegance concealed a depth of resilience. Their engagement reached a critical juncture one evening after a convivial family dinner in the historic heart of Philadelphia. Under the shadow of Independence Hall, they ventured out for drinks alongside Megan’s enigmatic, identical twin, Juliet, the sort who seemed to have a stubborn life of her own.

Upon their return, the evening’s revelry left Dalton incapacitated, his judgement clouded by one too many bourbons. Juliet, ever the mysterious figure, led him to the spare room in their stately Philadelphia townhouse, where an unforeseen intimacy unfolded—a breach of trust that would unravel their carefully constructed lives. By morning, the revelation tore through the veneer of their Christian home, leaving Megan’s faith in him shattered. Dalton’s pleas for forgiveness were met with the steely resolve of an adversary none too willing to relent.

Juliet discovered that during her interlude with Jack, she ended up carrying a burden greater than any her secretive life had prepared her to bear. Refusing the options her faith forbade, she joined the military and departed for Iraq to serve as an ER specialist, leaving behind questions of unresolved affairs. Amidst the chaos of Baghdad’s Green Zone, Juliet found herself caught in an ambush on Route Irish and was gravely wounded. She confessed the existence of their daughter, Meg, to those attending her, which eventually included Jack Dalton. Such a revelation of personal proportions shocked Jack Dalton like a coded message from a faraway land. Juliet died on the operating table in front of him.

In death, Juliet’s spirit, guided by Mr. Saint—a figure of mystery and subtle authority—found she had unfinished business tethering her to the world. Through Mr. Saint’s intervention, she was only visible to Jack Dalton, and their daughter Meg’s existence became Jack’s reality, who was discovered under the care of Monica and Bill Brown in Germany.

Returning home to attend Juliet’s funeral, Jack confronted the house of the Clarks—a bastion now guarded by Megan’s new fiancé, Ernie Williams, whose demeanor was as much interrogator as protector. Yet Dalton, skilled in negotiation, managed to impart the critical news of his and Juliet’s shared daughter.

Though encouraged by his spectral and living allies to pursue Megan, Jack hesitated, wary of inflicting further collateral damage upon her life. Still, deep within the labyrinth of Philadelphia’s cafes, Megan agreed to meet, where appearances of her niece unraveled her carefully patched-over emotions. The lingering scent of Juliet’s perfume haunted these encounters, casting long shadows over Megan’s planned nuptials.

On the wedding day, in a setting poised for drama, Juliet’s invisible hand sowed confusion akin to a well-placed leak. As the ceremony teetered, Monica boldly declared Jack’s persistent love for Megan. The upheaval proved too much for Ernie, and amid the orchestrated tumult, Jack and Megan found their paths converging—an outcome designed by Juliet in her quest for redemption. Juliet’s plan worked; she had brought them together. Juliet, having now made amends and learned very important lessons is able to move up the line in Purgatory. Mr. Saint leads her towards the gates of heaven.

THE HONOR KILLING

Twenty-five-year-old Mysha Habeed, no longer under the protection of her Christian Swedish mother, whom she believes is deceased, is forced by her Muslim father Qasim, her uncle Sinan and half-brother Rakin to witness the beheading of her gay biological brother Baulus.

An expert with an Arabian Scimitar sword and hysterical to the point of insanity after what she was forced to witness, Mysha enacts her calculated, cruel and bloody revenge on all three of them.

Unaware of what Mysha has done, she is contacted by Brian Parker, the brother of Peter Parker, Baulus’s lover, who advises her that Peter’s headless body has been found in a dumpster, something Mysha knows happened when she was forced to observe her only brother’s execution.

Fearful for survival, Mysha tries to hide her insane act from Brian, who is a Federal Agent for Homeland Security working undercover with suspected terrorist cells.

Brian learns what really happened to his brother, Peter, and to Mysha’s brother, Baulus, and how Mysha enacted revenge. Disgusted at the way the two gay men died, Brian is consumed with his horrific loss, which makes him step over the line and seek his own retribution outside the rules of his profession.

Mysha is fearful of a possible prison sentence if her revenge killing is ever discovered. She learns that her father, Qasim, had lied and that her mother is not dead and is not being held in Iraq. She is also terrified of the vengeance that could befall her from her father’s brother, Uncle Akeem.

She discovers her mother is alive and somewhere in the Pennsylvania mountains in a so-called religious learning camp, which in reality is a facility where she is sexually servicing the male members in what is really a training camp for Jihadists.

Captured by Akeem and handed to the sadistic leader Sakhr, she is taken to the mountains to suffer her fate. However, undercover, Brian is with her all the way with a double purpose: to avert a planned bombing on an airport terminal and bring those responsible to justice. However, Mysha has her own objectives, which Brian cannot control.

Based on The Honor Killing — an original 85- minute screenplay by Guy Quigley
