TAMPA, Fla., Feb. 21, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The Investigator, a film from Gabriel's Messenger Films, has wrapped shooting and is now in editing for a projected June 2012 completion date.  The movie is about a veteran detective who becomes a high school baseball coach, which leads to the most important investigation of his life.

A film designed to encourage hope and uplift spirits in difficult times, The Investigator features an experienced team of production executives, cast, and crew.  Leading the cast is Wade Williams, playing the role of James and who, although new to acting, is an accomplished musician.  David Sanborn, star from stage roles in West Side Story, The Miracle, and his one-man show King David, takes the role of James' brother Paul.

Synopsis
Twenty year veteran investigator Sergeant James Buanacore starts the most important investigation of his life when a drug bust goes tragically bad.  The death of the apparent suspect forces James out of the job he loves and into retirement.

When James' wife Stephanie has a miscarriage, he is devastated and begins to wonder about and question his previous beliefs.  Depressed and angry, James isolates himself until his brother helps him get an interview and he takes a job at the local high school as a part-time criminal justice teacher and baseball coach.

With his cop mentality challenging his students, James struggles through experiences with an unsupportive principal, a youth pastor with a secret, and rebellious students.  But when his best option seems to be quitting, a student challenges him to begin the investigation that will change his life, and those of his students, forever.
