Crack journalist, Jennifer Barron’s life is turned upside down
when her lover of four years, John Mackie, is brutally murdered by
“person or persons unknown” while he, himself, was committing
a political assassination.
Jenny is suddenly caught in an insidious web by an unrelenting
International Consortium whose aim is to infiltrate America’s
political structure, reaching as far as the Presidency itself. They
seek to delete her with “Extreme Prejudice”...in short,
to kill her for information John Mackie left on a computer disk
they are convinced Jenny now has.
In her fight to stay alive and learn the truth, Jenny alone stands
in the way of this ruthless regime. A target herself, Jenny is shot
at, chased, nearly drowned...and pursued into a tight emotional
and physical corner, from which it appears impossible to escape.
But Jenny is a strong-willed, independent woman who rises to the
challenge, and hers is the fight of every man or woman who has been
pushed to the brink and survives...or does she?

MIRACON
PICTURES (a studio repertory company) is an independent
film and television production company with an eclectic slate of pictures
in various stages of development.
The brain child of co-founder and president MARIA JANIS,
the company was founded in 1984 with her husband CONRAD
JANIS (Mindy’s father in the outrageously funny hit
series “MORK AND MINDY”
starring ROBIN WILLIAMS and PAM DAWBER).
Miracon has provided an outlet for the creative juices of the principals
who share Writing, Producing, Editing, Directing and Acting chores,
and their joyful collaboration is part of the successful combination
which appears to have launched this winning team.
MIRACON PICTURES'
first project, “THIS JOINT
IS JUMPIN’”, for P.B.S.
and K.C.E.T.'s Fundraising effort, was an extraordinarily
successful Musical Variety T.V. Special with a sizzling "All-Star
Celebrity Jam' Session",
Starring:
JACK LEMMON, DUDLEY MOORE, BEA ARTHUR, CONRAD JANIS, JACKIE COOPER,
CHRIS LEMMON, PAT MCCORMICK, DIRK BENEDICT & THE BEVERLY HILLS
UNLISTED JAZZ BAND.
Written & Produced by: MARIA
JANIS & CONRAD JANIS.
Musical arrangements by: CONRAD
JANIS.
MIRACON PICTURES’
second project: “The NOVEMBER CONSPIRACY”,
is a taut, action-filled, political thriller, which previewed at
the AFM to huge International acclaim, and was successfully sold
Domestically to MGM. The November Conspiracy’s
financial success, and it’s immediate International approbation,
garnered both Maria and Conrad Janis the approval of established
Hollywood legends, such as Howard Koch Senior, whose quote upon
seeing the film and later discovering its conservative budget was:
“I wish our Studio could do films as exciting as your
film, especially at your unbelievable budget…My God, this
looks like a $35,000,000 dollar film!” “We can’t
do this!”, plus the International recognition of
both foreign and domestic Distributors who are ‘clamoring
to see MiraCon Pictures’ next offerings’.
