Imagine Sicario meets The Hurt Locker with the emotional punch of Man on Fire and the comedy of Reacher—but this time, the battlefield is home.

In Collateral Damage, former Marine Corps EOD tech Nick Hardy returns to small-town Montana, hoping to rebuild his life and find peace. But when a woman he falls for turns out to be an undercover FBI agent, he’s thrust back into a high-stakes game of deception and domestic terrorism.

As a ghost from his past—a deadly bomb maker named Samūm—resurfaces on American soil, Nick discovers he’s the intended target of a catastrophic plot. Now, hunted and haunted, he must outwit the leader of an international terror cell and fight for the only thing left that matters: the people he loves.

This is a gritty, emotionally grounded action thriller—equal parts military realism, psychological drama, and kinetic suspense. It’s about trust, PTSD, trauma, and what happens when war follows you home.

Collateral Damage is ready for screen adaptation—with the emotional intensity of Man on Fire and the edge-of-your-seat pacing of Sicario. Nick Hardy could be your next great franchise hero.
