Shelter Zero

SCENE 1

Broken Shadows

Downtown Toronto alley at dusk, neon signs reflecting off wet pavement. — Jack crouches in a cluttered alley, face tense as he finds a discarded document sticking out of a manila envelope by an overflowing dumpster.

SCENE 2

Sanctuary's Secret

Dimly lit church basement, packed with sleeping bags and canned food. — Sister Agnes quietly hands Jack a steaming mug while glancing nervously at a city council document spread on the table.

SCENE 3

The Minister’s Gambit

Spacious, modern government office with cityscape windows; dusk light casts long shadows. — Minister Dalton watches CCTV footage of Jack and Sister Agnes, his hands folded and expression icy with resolve.

SCENE 4

Underground Chase

Labyrinthine subway tunnels splashed with graffiti, harsh overhead lights throwing dramatic shadows. — Jack sprints through the tunnel, chased by two shadowy figures in black suits, breathing hard, muscles tense.

SCENE 5

Public Reckoning

Bustling city square, TV news van nearby, crowd gathering as Jack holds up the incriminating file. — Jack, disheveled but defiant, stands illuminated by news cameras, Sister Agnes and Lisette behind him, startled politicians looking on.
