Overview
In this cinematic adventure "Deception", critically unacclaimed director Drew Spooner showcases a classic story of good v. evil. Post-traumatic war veteran Johnny (Connor Shur Linnerooth) seeks revenge against the United States after a grave misunderstanding in Vietnam. Together with the help of his evil henchman (Alexander Gudding and Jake Hundley) they plot to launch an electromagnetic pulse across the nation to send America into chaos and take over the entire world. Only Nighthawk (zero-time Academy Winner Adam Boe) has the power to stop this madman through the use of sheer, brute force. With the help of his commanding officer known only as "Marine" (Reed Martin) as well as communications technician Stanley (Caleb Homuth), they train a co-op of elite soldiers and lead the team into one last battle to save America; to save the world.
