A damsel in distress. A hungover detective. A 50 million dollar bounty. Push is a high-flung, out of this world, sci-fi, detective roller-coaster.Los Angeles, 3021.
Life has changed. Gone are the open skies and simple living. A sweeping miasma of neon lights and grim dark spread as far as the eye can see. Day to day life is hard, made more difficult by the rise of shadow organizations that officially do not exist and a strange mutation granting telekinetic powers to .05% of the population.
Detective Simon Dark doesn’t care about any of that. All he wants are simple cases that pay the bills and replenish the liquor cabinet. Simon often wonders if the job or the alcohol will kill him first.
A striking bombshell saunters into her office. Her husband has gone missing and she’s willing to 50 million dollars to get him back. Ever a sucker for a pretty face and with aspirations of collecting wealth beyond his wildest dreams, Simon takes the case.
He'll soon wish he hadn’t as a host of killers break from the shadows, hounding him every step of the way. It will take every resource in his possession if Simon is going to survive long enough to find the missing husband and collect his due.
If he makes it that far.
Push will take you into a neon world brimming with misleading clues, unsolved mystery, shady villains and visceral action.
