Major Sterling “Lucky Strike” Stryker

The architect behind Operation Goliath.
Cool, brilliant, politically lethal.
Talbot knows the Giants are real because she has spent her career managing the classified infrastructure hiding their existence from the world.
LOGLINE
When a Delta Force sniper discovers evidence of biblical giants beneath the mountains of Afghanistan, she is recruited into a classified ODNI operation led by a legendary black-ops specialist and a ruthless intelligence director who have secretly battled giant incursions for decades—forcing her to confront her preacher father’s warnings, her mysterious bloodline, and an ancient war humanity was never meant to remember.
CORE CONCEPT
The central premise of Preacher’s Daughter: Giant Slayer is this:
The biblical Giants were real.
They never disappeared.
They were buried, hidden, contained—and periodically awakened throughout history.
Governments know.
Certain religious bloodlines know.
And now, in modern Afghanistan, one of the ancient Giant kingdoms has awakened beneath the mountains.
THE WORLD
The film operates inside a recognizable modern military and intelligence landscape.
Deep beneath Afghanistan’s Bamiyan Province, seismic disturbances uncover a hidden subterranean civilization linked to the Nephilim—the offspring of the “fallen ones” referenced in Genesis.
The discovery triggers:
- covert military mobilizations
- Russian black-ops intervention
- archaeological extractions
- supernatural phenomena
- and the reactivation of “Operation Goliath,” a long-buried ODNI contingency plan designed to contain giant emergence events.
As the truth spreads, the world inches toward spiritual, geopolitical, and biological collapse.
ACT I — THE DISCOVERY
PROLOGUE — 1982
Inside a fiery Black church service, young Amanda Franklin sits listening to her father, Reverend Franklin, preach about unseen spiritual warfare and ancient forces hidden beneath the Earth. Amanda wears a hearing aid. Even as a child, something unusual reacts around her during spiritual moments. Unknown to Amanda, powerful intelligence observers take notice.
PRESENT DAY — AFGHANISTAN
Amanda Franklin—now a highly decorated Delta Force sniper—is stationed at Camp Nelson in Afghanistan. She is respected, fearless, and sarcastically nicknamed “Preach” by fellow soldiers because of her religious upbringing. After a mysterious incident involving missing soldiers near a mountain cavern system, Amanda’s unit encounters something impossible during a recon mission:
A gigantic humanoid creature. Larger than any known species.
Fast.
Violent.
Biblical.
The surviving soldiers barely escape with infrared footage of the creature.
The footage reaches ODNI headquarters.
Director Veda Talbot immediately reactivates:
OPERATION GOLIATH.
She summons the only man she trusts to handle giant encounters:
Major Sterling Stryker.
ACT II — OPERATION GOLIATH
Stryker arrives in Afghanistan and assumes command of a joint task force involving Delta Force operators, intelligence personnel, and archaeologist Dr. Seth Waters. Amanda quickly clashes with Stryker. He recognizes something unusual about her immediately—especially her hearing aid and strange sensitivity to giant frequencies. Meanwhile, Russian operative Oleg Bozarov conducts occult experiments inside hidden caverns, attempting to control ancient giant entities through dark rituals.
The mission escalates when the team discovers:
- ancient runic giant language
- underground cities beneath Antarctic ice
- Nephilim creatures
- and evidence of a global buried giant civilization called:
New Gath.
Amanda begins experiencing supernatural intuition connected to the giant language itself. She instinctively reads symbols she has never seen before. Stryker becomes convinced Amanda is tied to an ancient bloodline prophesied to oppose the Giants. Meanwhile, Amanda reconnects with her preacher father, Reverend Franklin, who reveals shocking truths:
The Giants were never myth. The Nephilim survived the Flood underground.
And Amanda carries something inherited within her bloodline tied to their ancient enemies.
ACT III — THE GIANT WAR
The search leads beneath Antarctica into the hidden giant kingdom of New Gath.
There, the team discovers:
- dormant giants
- flying Nephilim warriors
- ancient technology
- and evidence humanity once fought a catastrophic war against these beings.
The Giants awaken in massive numbers. Entire valleys tremble beneath their footsteps. Modern weapons prove largely ineffective. Fighter jets, missiles, and special forces attacks slow them—but cannot stop them. Amanda evolves from sniper into something more. Her connection to the ancient bloodline allows her to influence and resist the Nephilim in ways no one else can. As the fallen entity Akibeel attempts to reopen an ancient portal and unleash giant forces onto Earth, Amanda confronts him directly.
Stryker and the surviving team launch a desperate military counteroffensive while Talbot coordinates global containment efforts from ODNI command. Amanda ultimately embraces both halves of herself: The soldier. And the preacher’s daughter. Using ancient knowledge, faith, and military precision together, she helps seal the gateway to New Gath before full planetary invasion can occur. But victory comes at a terrifying cost: The team discovers New Gath was only one kingdom.
There are others.
Hidden beneath the Earth.
Waiting.
AMANDA’S ARC
Amanda begins the story rejecting faith, prophecy, and her father’s teachings.
She trusts:
- training
- precision
- logic
- and military systems
But the giant war forces her to confront the possibility that ancient scripture preserved literal historical truth.
By the end, Amanda evolves into:
Humanity’s first true Giant Slayer.
Not because she is chosen.
Because she chooses to stand between humanity and extinction when everyone else breaks.
VEDA TALBOT
Veda Talbot is not a traditional villain.
She represents institutional survival.
For decades she has concealed giant encounters from the public because she believes civilization itself would collapse if humanity learned the truth.
Talbot understands:
- governments would fail
- religions would fracture
- economies would implode
- and mass panic would become uncontrollable
Her greatest fear is not the Giants.
It is disclosure.
MAJOR STRYKER
Stryker is the bridge between military realism and mythic warfare.
He has fought giant incidents before.
He knows:
- where to shoot
- how they move
- which legends are true
- and why humanity keeps losing these encounters
His mentorship of Amanda becomes the emotional backbone of the action narrative.
Together they become the first effective human response team against giant emergence events.
