Cicada Man
On the chaotic outskirts of Bangkok, a manic bipolar crypto trader, a debt-ridden Thai hustler, and an insect-whispering ex-doctor of sorts collide in a wildly comedic crime adventure.
Jay Dice is a 30-year-old programmer riding a bipolar he turns $10,000 into a million trading crypto, quits his dead-end tech job, then loses it all in a massive exchange hack. Desperate and spiraling, he flees to Thailand for a shady gig, only to cross paths with Sonny, a quick-witted local scrambling to save his failing pirate DVD shop.
When Sonny botches a robbery and steals a drift car to infiltrate Jay's world, the pair unexpectedly teams up with Cicada a recluse whose nearly silent whistle can hypnotize insects.
Their insane plan? Rig a high-stakes, mob-run cricket-fighting tournament. With Jay's coding skills, Sonny's street cons, and Cicada Man's bug command, what could go wrong?
In a whirlwind of double-crosses, bloody mayhem, and laugh-out-loud disasters, this unlikely trio risks everything. But when trust shatters, survival means outsmarting both enemies and each other.
