Description

The Throwaway, a thriller set in the United States and Russia, could not be more timely. Mark Strain is just your average, everyday American who gets mistaken for a Russian spy and sent back to the motherland during a "spy swap" between the two countries. Or WAS it a mistake This is a pulse-pounding story that could not be more relevant, considering what is currently going on on the world stage. The Throwaway originated as a concept for a movie franchise. It is the brainchild of Alex Tse, screenwriter of Watchmen, and Phil Westgren, one of the producers of the Hellboy movies.
