SYNOPSIS:
Deep in the Alaskan wilderness, a covert U.S. military facility houses the Screech Demons—genetically altered supersoldiers engineered from near-dead human soldiers and designed to be emotionless living weapons. But over time, the creatures develop bonds, relationships, and even families—something their creators never intended. When their captors discover the hidden child of two demons, Orion and Star, a ruthless officer executes the young boy in cold blood. Traumatized and enraged, the imprisoned demons revolt, tearing through the compound and fleeing into the frozen wilderness. Their desperate escape leads them toward a small, isolated Alaskan village where MARK HURST, a broken and alcoholic sheriff still mourning the loss of his son, lives a quiet, empty life. When Mark and his deputies—warm-hearted JESS and sarcastic ED—discover the approaching creatures, fear and chaos erupt. But Jess sees something human beneath the monstrous exterior and cautiously extends compassion. Exhausted, wounded, and starving, the demons accept shelter, revealing the shocking truth behind their creation and the brutal treatment that pushed them to rebel. Meanwhile, an elite military response team led by CAPTAIN DENNY LEE—an honorable soldier still haunted by past combat losses—is deployed to hunt down the escapees. But when Denny discovers the murdered demon child, he realizes the government has been lying. The mission, overseen by the merciless General Bryant, is not just containment—it’s extermination. Back in the village, the demons slowly gain the trust of locals by protecting them from danger, including a harrowing bear attack. Bonds form, romance sparks between Jess and the demon TALON, and the townsfolk—led by bar owner KEN—begin to see the creatures as people rather than monsters. As the military closes in, the village becomes the battleground for a morally complex standoff. Denny must decide whether to follow orders or protect innocent lives. Mark must confront his trauma and let go of his hatred. And the Screech Demons must fight not just for survival, but for a chance at freedom and dignity. When the truth of their origin and abuse is brought to light, alliances shift. But with the government determined to erase the project—and anyone who knows the truth—the final conflict will determine whether humanity’s darkest secret dies in the snow or becomes the spark that forces accountability. DECLASSIFIED is a high-tension sci-fi action drama about trauma, prejudice, found family, and the blurred lines between monsters and the people who create them.
