Type: Theater acting job
Five cutthroat bounty hunters and Detective Jett Phoenix collide in a showdown over the notorious criminal gangster known as “Pops”. In a game where everyone is armed, dangerous, and delightfully untrustworthy, it’s hard to tell who’s chasing the bounty, and who’s chasing something else entirely.

Character Descriptions
Detective Jett Phoenix (already cast) – seasoned + excellent detective who always seems to be 2 steps ahead. Developed PTSD and many phobias over years of solving terrible crimes. Extremely startled by sudden noises and movements and is easily overwhelmed by even small threats.
The Bounty Hunters:
Ash the Slasher (any gender) – High school graduate taking a gap year to find themself, recently accepted to Duke University to major in something creative with no real job prospects and is having a life crisis, unsure if this is the right path.
Blood Ranger (any gender) – Failed out of police academy year after year and wants to prove they have what it takes to be a cop, which is their dream job. Strong moral code; meticulously by the book; despises criminals.
Snake the Shanker (any gender) – Stay-at home spouse bored with the mediocre suburban life. They have taken up numerous hobbies to fill the void and is all too eager to talk about them. Bounty-hunting is their latest fixation and they are a natural.
Kill Switch (preferably female) – A trained psychologist who lost their job as, one-by-one, patients began replacing them with AI chatbots. They are out to prove that humans are superior to AI, donning their ironic name and using their psychoanalysis skills to track down criminals. Rage against the machine!
Wendy (preferably male) – A recently released ex-con, locked up by Jett Phoenix on unknown charges. Unable to find stable work due to their record, Wendy uses their street smarts to catch other criminals. This is their only source of income.
