Every Dollar.
One Stone.
Jackson "Jack" Vance tears down companies for a living — and he doesn't blink. His next target wipes out ten thousand workers' pensions, but when he tries to skim the cartel behind the deal, they don't just fire him. They make sure he never walks out.
In the dark, an entity known only as The Architect offers him a second life — on one condition: reverse every dollar he stole, by hand, using the city's own buildings as his tools. Fail, and the debt will harden him into stone. Jack wakes with a century-old tool belt, the power to read any structure like a blueprint, and concrete already creeping up his arm.
Hunted by a federal agent on his trail and a cartel that wants him dead twice over, Jack settles his ledger one job at a time — returning what was taken, until the stone reaches his jaw and the city he wronged finally lets him go.

A First Look at Jack
Concept teaser — AI visualization of the screenplay. Not a finished cut.
Jonathan Ruppert
A screenwriter, creator, and inventor drawn to high-concept stories that combine commercial entertainment with something meaningful underneath. His storytelling approach mirrors his invention: start with a simple idea, ask “What if?”, then build the world, rules, and consequences around it.
His work spans the award-winning political techno-thriller HACKED, the philosophical sci-fi project TANGENT, and JUST JACK — an R-rated supernatural action-thriller built around debt, consequence, and a man forced to rebuild with his own hands what he once destroyed with numbers.
With JUST JACK his goal was simple: create the kind of movie he would want to buy a ticket to — visceral, visual, entertaining, and built around an idea you can understand in a sentence but explore for an entire film.
The ledger always comes due.
