Based on the true story of one man's rise through the cracks in the American empire.

Mark Bertrand was a Navy fighter pilot turned aerospace engineer-brilliant, disciplined, loyal to the flag and the work until the system betrayed him.

When a multi-million-dollar invention he designed is quietly stolen and buried by a defense contractor, Mark doesn't go to court. He disappears.

In the 1990s America-an empire fraying under deregulation, techno-optimism, and vanishing accountability-Mark reinvents himself. With forged documents, spiritual camouflage, and a network of rogue financiers and expats, he builds a new identity in the shadows. Offshore foundations. Shell nonprofits. Echo-ledger trades whispered in the language of belief.

His allies: Buddhist monks, oil kings, and cold-eyed insiders.

His weapon: the idea that truth is negotiable-and value is whatever people can be made to believe.

But when he begins laundering not just money, but identity itself, one question refuses to stay buried:

How many lives can a man live before he loses his own?

Bertrand is a harrowing true story of financial seduction, spiritual disguise, and the thin line between reinvention and erasure. In a world where everything is for sale-faith, freedom, even memory-this is what happens when a man turns the game inside out.
