After competing in the Olympics, a Canadian snowboarder crashes hard—spiraling into drug trafficking, prison, and a deadly alliance with the Mexican cartel. On the other side of a four-year sentence, he builds a billion-dollar cocaine empire across ski towns and border tunnels. Now one of the FBI’s most wanted fugitives, he’s still running—and still eliminating anyone in his way.
After competing in the Olympics, Aiden Shaw’s career crashes into addiction, debt, and a federal drug conviction. Inside prison, he isn’t broken—he’s recruited. Cartel operatives teach him how to move product, disappear, and kill without leaving a trace. Once released, Aiden builds a billion-dollar cocaine empire across ski towns and border tunnels. But as the murders escalate and a $10 million reward goes live, Aiden isn’t just on the run—he’s eliminating anyone who threatens to slow him down.
There is rising demand for prestige thrillers rooted in real-world chaos—especially stories that blend sports, scandal, and international crime. Whiteout is uniquely positioned to hit that mark: it’s athletic, cinematic, globally relevant, and tonally flexible (gritty, satirical, or stylish depending on director). As a fictionalized story, it offers complete creative freedom and avoids the complexity of rights acquisition. We’re building toward a tightly cast, mid-budget feature with festival, streamer, and international upside.
Whiteout is based on a true story that’s still unfolding. The subject remains a fugitive. The case is active. The FBI has placed a $10 million reward on his head, and the full scope of his empire is only now coming to light. This is a rare chance to tell a story with real urgency—while it still lives in the headlines and before anyone else gets there first.
