By Ruhollah Ghayem

GENRE: Thriller, Mystery
LOGLINE: A seasoned adventurer must retrieve an ancient stone from a massive ice block in the Arctic to save his kidnapped daughter and unlock a hidden treasure in Paris before time runs out.

SYNOPSIS:

Mac, an intrepid adventurer known for taking on impossible tasks, is hired by a powerful criminal syndicate for a mission unlike any other. He must journey to a remote location in the Arctic and extract an ancient stone embedded within a massive, monolithic ice block. This stone, inscribed with a mysterious code in an unknown language, is the key to unlocking a secret vault in the center of Paris, rumored to contain a vast treasure hidden since World War II. When Mac reaches the ice block—a towering rectangular slab, 100 meters tall and 10 meters thick—he begins the arduous task of chiseling away the ice. To his dismay, the ice refuses to yield, defying all his efforts. The criminals, suspecting betrayal, intensify their threats, revealing they have taken his daughter hostage. As they destroy his home and convince him that his wife has been killed, they push Mac to the brink of despair. Desperate to save his family, Mac fights against time and the relentless cold, his hands becoming bloodied and torn as he tries to free the stone. In a final, desperate push, he manages to retrieve the stone, but in the same moment, he loses contact with the syndicate, fearing the worst for his daughter. In a shocking twist, Mac's phone rings—it's his wife and daughter, alive and safe. Unbeknownst to Mac, his close friend had alerted the authorities, hacked the criminals' communications, and orchestrated a rescue mission. The friend had used the intercepted messages to track the location of the hideout, allowing security forces to take down the syndicate. Now, reunited with his family and holding the stone that holds the key to unimaginable wealth, Mac must decide whether to pursue the treasure or find peace in the survival of those he loves.
