    Dating is hard enough at the best of times. It’s near impossible when there’s a serial killer on the loose—particularly when you keep waking up in unfamiliar places with no clue how you got there—and a recently acquired fondness for all-black outfits and matching leather gloves. 
    Pete Walker is hoping for Romeo and Juliet levels of passion but keeps getting Shrek and Donkey instead. There’s Penny, an uninhibited fitness fanatic. Miranda, who takes her cats very seriously. And Lila—intriguing and mysterious, with a worrying penchant for car theft. 
    As the body count rises and Pete’s blackouts get worse, he starts to wonder: at what point does bad dating become a police matter? 
    A wickedly dark comedy filled with adult humour, questionable dating choices, and a whole lot of laughs.

    The Woke Apostles of the Fourth Reich: A Comedy of Global Madness 
    Tagline: “When the World Economic Forum met Nazi Propagandist Joseph Goebbels at a cocktail party…” 
    Welcome to the 21st century, where the Woke Apostles of the Fourth Reich have risen from the ashes of history to save us all from—wait for it—ourselves! But don’t be fooled; this isn’t your grandfather’s Reich. No, this is a new and improved, eco-friendly, socially conscious, gender-fluid version, and it’s brought to you by none other than our friends at the World Economic Forum (WEF). 
    You see, in their infinite wisdom, the WEF has concocted a strategy so diabolical, so preposterously brilliant, that it would make even the most ardent Nazi propagandist blush. The plan? To cause a global psychosis that will create a Civil War amongst all nations, races, and people groups, ensuring that no one ever unites against them. And the best part? They’re doing it all in the name of progress! 
    The Woke Apostles: Goebbels’ New Disciples 
    Imagine, if you will, Joseph Goebbels—the master of Nazi propaganda—reincarnated as a non-binary, vegan, climate activist with a degree in Gender Studies and a TikTok following of 10 million. Now, multiply that by a few thousand, give them all blue checkmarks on Twitter, and voila! You’ve got the Woke Apostles of the Fourth Reich. 
    These modern-day disciples have taken Goebbels’ playbook and updated it for the digital age. Their mission? To divide and conquer, using social justice as their weapon of mass destruction. They’re not just spreading lies; they’re redefining reality. Up is down, freedom is oppression, and biology is a social construct. And if you disagree? Well, then you’re just a bigot—or worse, a capitalist! 
    Why bother with tanks and guns when you can just weaponize anything other than the mainstream media psychosis machine and watch the world burn?

    SMALL TOWN. BIG BOOM. 
     
     
     
    Davis Way Cole returns to her hometown of Pine Apple, Alabama, to fill in for her police chief father during the bustling Memorial Day Celebration. It'll be fun. Relaxing. And a no-brainer. After years of leading an elite security team at a billion-dollar casino in Biloxi, Mississippi, Davis has no doubt whatsoever she can run little ole Pine Apple in her sleep. 
     
     
     
    She should think again. 
     
     
     
    A blast from her past shows up. (With baggage.) Just before her casino-spy partner from Biloxi blows into town. (As a fugitive.) Then something goes wrong with the weed-control crew. (Terribly wrong.) And that was just Davis's first day on the job. 
     
     
     
    Her missteps that follow threaten to blow her life to smithereens. They include pilfering a botanical garden from her Biloxi employer, hiding out in a closed diner with a surprise in the freezer, and choosing a questionable-at-best team to aid and assist when a fireworks problem pops up. But all that pales next to Davis reopening Pine Apple's oldest and deepest wound. Because, as she soon learns, some small-town secrets are best left buried. 
     
     
     
    What will she do? 
     
     
     
    Everything she possibly can.
