SYNOPSIS: In the shadowed elegance of SeedGen’s executive office, overlooking a glittering cityscape, Jacob, a steely corporate mogul, tasks Aaron, his enforcer, with silencing farmer Brandon Willard, whose defiance threatens SeedGen's biotech empire. Their taut exchange pulses with menace, as Jacob demands a brutal message be sent, from a barn fire to an “accident,” while Aaron warns of Willard’s tenacity and deep Choctaw ties, hinting at a potential community uprising. Jacob’s promise of a bonus clashes with his chilling threat of consequences, pushing Aaron into a moral quagmire, while Aaron’s defiant retort signals his own dangerous resolve. This scene vibrates with predatory stakes, offering actors a gripping chance to explore the tense dance of power, loyalty, and  betrayal in a corporate conspiracy.
