AJAX is a mythic revenge thriller rooted in ancient tragedy and modern trauma. It follows a broken ex-UN soldier living on the fringes of Venice - a man scarred by war, cursed by radiation, and haunted by visions in ancient Greek. But this is no ordinary man: he is Ajax of legend, endlessly reborn across millennia in pursuit of his ancient nemesis - Nessuno (Odysseus), now the powerful head of a global organ-trafficking empire.
We're currently developing a short cript as a proof of concept, capturing the tone, mythology, and character world. The fiction could develop in a tv or podcast series blending the psychological depth of True Detective, the visual noir of The Third Man, and the existential tragedy of Greek epic.
