Logline

When a hidden network of elite operatives awaken from lives they were forced into, suppressed memories of their abduction resurface, and the agency that reprogrammed them turns lethal, pushing the first to wake to dismantle the system before it erases them.

 

Overview

The Sleepers is a grounded, psychologically driven action thriller built around discipline, consequence, and control.

 

Abducted and reprogrammed as children, elite operatives have spent their lives embedded in ordinary identities, unaware of the system that owns them. 

 

As the programme begins to fail, suppressed memories resurface, triggering a coordinated containment response designed to eliminate those who awaken.

 

Drawn back together by fragments of shared history, the first to wake must decide whether to disappear back into controlled lives, or turn on the agency that created them, knowing every step toward freedom accelerates the system’s collapse.

 

 

TONE & EXECUTION

 

Clean, restrained, and kinetic.

 

Action is designed with clarity and intention, prioritising physical logic over spectacle. The world operates on defined rules, once broken, consequences escalate rapidly. Emotional weight is carried through behaviour and decision-making rather than exposition.

 

CORE THEMES

• Agency vs. Control — identity reclaimed through decisive action

 

• Loyalty Under Pressure — trust forged in motion, not dialogue

 

• Systems & Collapse — the cost of control when mechanisms fail
