SOPHIE HART
A compassionate and skilled doctor who works in emergency medicine. She’s Tom’s girlfriend, and her calm under pressure becomes critical when passengers are injured during the hostage crisis. Though taken captive by Grace’s team, she refuses to let fear stop her from caring for the wounded – even putting herself at risk to help both allies and enemies. Her unwavering humanity serves as a moral anchor for Tom throughout the ordeal.
DECLAN SMITH
Tom’s trusted friend and fellow SAS operator. Loyal to the core and a formidable fighter, he coordinates with external forces to support Tom from outside the tunnel. He uses his tactical expertise to navigate bureaucratic roadblocks and gather vital intelligence, ensuring Tom has the resources needed to take down the terrorists. His partnership with Tom is built on years of shared missions and unbreakable trust.
GEORGE CLEMENTS
A high-ranking government official with a dark secret. While publicly presenting himself as a dedicated leader focused on national security, he’s actually responsible for the conspiracy that destroyed Grace’s family. He authorized illegal operations to cover up corruption, and now will do anything – including sacrificing the train’s passengers – to protect his own power and avoid exposure.
WILLIAM LEWIS
Grace’s father, a former special forces operative once celebrated as a national hero. He was betrayed and framed by Clements and the government for a mission that went wrong, leading to his imprisonment and public disgrace. Though he tries to stop Grace from taking violent action, his past choices and the injustice he endured are what drove her down her destructive path.
RUTH KASPAROV
Grace’s second-in-command and a highly trained mercenary. She’s fiercely loyal to Grace, having shared her experience of being failed by the system. Ruth is cold, efficient, and will execute any order without hesitation – but beneath her tough exterior, she struggles with the human cost of their mission.GRACE LEWIS
A brilliant and driven former military intelligence officer, now leading the hostage operation in the Channel Tunnel. Once a promising service member dedicated to protecting her country, she was shattered when her father William was framed for corruption and treason by those in power. Consumed by grief and rage at the injustice, she’s determined to expose the government’s dark secrets – even if it means putting hundreds of innocent lives at stake.
She’s tactical, charismatic, and commands fierce loyalty from her team. While her methods are extreme and violent, she genuinely believes she’s fighting to hold corrupt leaders accountable and prevent future betrayals. Deep down, she struggles with the weight of her actions, torn between her desire for justice and the knowledge that she’s harming people who share her pain of being failed by the system
.The prison’s medical wing visitor room is stark and cool, with pale walls and a heavy metal table between two chairs – one bolted to the floor. Grace Lewis sits there in grey prison attire, dark hair neat, exhaustion and regret etched around her eyes.
Sunlight streams through barred windows, lighting dust motes in the air. Distant hums and metal clanks fill the silence. She glances at the window before focusing on the entering therapist, her posture still holding military discipline.
A small stack of files and a glass of water sit on the table. Padded walls balance security and intimacy; a faded mindfulness poster hangs behind her. She doesn’t look away, expression open yet guarded – ready to speak, but unsure of being understood.
