A psychic medium is recruited by the CIA to infiltrate authoritarian regimes, using his supernatural abilities to expose secrets no one else can access. But as the stakes escalate—from spiritual warnings to nuclear war—he must choose between serving his country and preserving his soul.

SYNOPSIS:

Meet Micheal Hawke — former grief counselor, reluctant clairvoyant, and now... America’s most unconventional weapon.

Haunted by the deaths of his parents and driven by a quiet yearning to use his strange gifts for good, Micheal is recruited into a covert CIA program unlike any in U.S. history. Dubbed “Project Oracle,” the initiative embeds psychic operatives into global hotspots, exploiting their supernatural insight to extract intelligence directly from the dead.

At first, Micheal resists the militarization of his abilities. But when the CIA reveals a plan to dismantle authoritarian regimes from within — using him as a Trojan horse — he agrees. He’s promised the missions are surgical, bloodless, for the greater good. That illusion won’t last.

His first target: the Republic of North Korea (RNK), where Micheal poses as a celebrity psychic brought in to entertain high-ranking officials. Through eerie readings that uncover long-buried secrets, he earns the trust of a ruthless dictator. But with every connection he forges, Micheal becomes entangled in deeper ethical and political complexity. The dictator begins relying on his “visions” to eliminate enemies and tighten control — trusting Micheal more than his own advisors.

Soon, Micheal’s “intel” is fueling a global game of manipulation. Ghosts of past leaders whisper secrets to him... and warn him of dire consequences if he continues. His handlers, especially Director Smith, push him harder, sending him into increasingly dangerous missions — including one involving General Zarov, a warlord threatening to deploy nuclear warheads.

As Micheal gathers intelligence from the living and the dead, he realizes he’s being weaponized — not just against foreign leaders, but against his own moral compass. The spirits he once trusted become conflicted, even hostile, warning of a psychic fracture between the physical and metaphysical world.

And it gets worse. During a mission in China, Micheal uncovers a conspiracy that ties the warlord’s aggression to a lost American secret: a classified document hidden decades earlier by a U.S. senator — revealed to Micheal in a reading. The coordinates point to a secret underground base buried in the Nevada desert. Something is hidden there. Something that connects the dead, the war machine, and a truth too dangerous to tell.

By Act III, Micheal is torn: obey the CIA and keep exploiting his gift for geopolitical leverage, or follow the spirits urging him toward a higher purpose — to heal, not harm. As he stands between world leaders on the brink of nuclear war, Micheal must defy both his country and the otherworld to avert a catastrophe only he can see coming.

WHY IT WORKS:

Spook CIA fuses the best of The Bourne Identity and The Sixth Sense — a high-concept geopolitical thriller with deeply human and spiritual themes. It presents a unique hero torn between two realms: a covert government apparatus and a spectral realm crying out for redemption.

What makes this stand apart is not just the espionage, but the emotional burden of the gift. Micheal is not a flawless super-agent. He’s deeply human — struggling with grief, loyalty, faith, and the seduction of power.

The story has room for grounded action, global tension, spiritual symbolism, and psychological depth. It can be executed with a moderate budget, relying on tension, atmosphere, and character rather than heavy VFX.

Think: Homeland meets Ghost Whisperer meets Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, with a dash of Constantine. This isn’t just a supernatural thriller — it’s a moral parable wrapped in an espionage yarn.
