A Chicago-set espionage action-adventure feature, Assassin League: Episode II – Shadows of an Empire follows elite operative Kendrick Knight as he infiltrates a billionaire defense mogul’s mansion poker fundraiser under an assumed identity. His mission is simple: recover a dangerous dossier, gather intelligence, and survive long enough to get out.

But what begins as a covert operation quickly exposes something far larger — an empire of private military influence, autonomous weapons development, and hidden agendas operating beneath elite society.

With his partner Michael working from the outside and an undercover agent embedded inside the mansion, Kendrick must navigate a world of wealth, deception, security forces, old alliances, and psychological games. As poker-table tension turns into violence, the mission spirals from espionage into survival.

Inspired by the elegance of James Bond, the mission tension of Mission: Impossible, and the survival stakes of Die Hard, Shadows of an Empire expands the Assassin League universe into its first feature-length installment.
