Get lost in The City that stopped sleeping a long time ago. RJ Reaver the coroner is recruited by Detective Bella Marjorie to find out why people are spontaneously exploding into bloody bits. Their investigation takes them from the penthouse apartment of Victor Pistachio to the commercial set of Ron Roland the Mattress Baron and beyond. Can he unravel the mystery without losing his sanity?
This absurd and darkly funny neo-noir was performed with live music and foley effects like the radio plays of old. Order a cocktail and open your ears to a world of psychological terror.
