Hot Singles in Your Area
A blistering body-horror following two imperfect strangers ensnared by a sinister media powerhouse.
Noah desperately needs a new job that involves less blood and piss than his current one. So, when he spots an ad for a newspaper with 'No experience preferred', he puts on his good shirt and marches down to their average-looking office to unknowingly sign his life away.
Malachia is the only human left in the City of Silence and she spends her time wandering its empty, bone-filled streets. Until one day she finds a lone figure hunched over a typewriter, his fingers enmeshed with the keys. Could he be the answer to finding her lost love?
Propelled by their pursuits for rent money and truth, Noah and Malachia are pushed to their limits in this tightly-plotted satire of occupational hazards and conglomerate powers.
