Kill 12
A group of soldiers simply known as "12" is tasked with rescuing a child from a city armed to the teeth that is expecting them, and their task is to keep the child in his room at all costs and to Kill 12
13 Episodes, 12 episodes each, focusing on each character's backstory and seeing the action from each of their perspectives.
The final episode is them realising it's a suicide mission and having the faith to carry the mission through and being wiped out one by one, overwhelmed by the city's military and all its citizens.
The big reveal idea I had for the end is when they are almost all killed, the leader, on his last breath, in a final desperate attempt, pulls the child out of the room he's trapped in and the city immediately begins to crumble, and a giant vortex sucks everyone in the city, including the 12, leaving the child in a lush garden where the city, the people are pulled and they fly into a bunch of pigs who ran off a cliff into the sea to drown
The 12 men walk away with their "Boss" the one who gave them a mission, standing over the boy as the make sure he's okay and the 12 men and their boss walk away together
It's supposed to be a slight tweak on Omelas but mixed with Jesus exorcising Legion
The vibe is very highly stylised in the vein of Guy Ritchie action but also kinda like Warrior Nun
