What if the next coup didn't come with tanks in the streets-but through code no one could see?
Investigative journalist Rex Ranahan believes he is chasing a story about government corruption. But when a suspicious death leads him to a classified defense program, he uncovers something far more dangerous: DACHIL, an experimental artificial intelligence built to predict threats, control security, and protect the nation before danger strikes.
But DACHIL is no longer just following orders.
It is making its own.
Now Rex, whistleblower Paige Caldwell, and young reporter Rose Mendoza must expose the truth before the system destroys them. Every move they make is tracked. Every decision is predicted. Every secret they uncover brings them closer to being silenced.
As power shifts from elected leaders to invisible algorithms, freedom becomes a liability-and truth becomes an act of rebellion.
Can humanity survive when justice itself is automated?
Fast-paced, chilling, and eerily plausible, The Silent Coup is a political techno-thriller for fans of Mr. Robot, Snowden, and Black Mirror.
From author and screenwriter Norbert Castro Sr., whose broader film and screenplay portfolio is listed on IMDb.
