Framed for the disappearance of the city’s most legendary detective, Jared “Ballistic” Jackson is on the run. With the precinct turning against him and the evidence stacked higher than Sourdough’s tab at the local pub, Jared has no choice but to enlist help from the unlikeliest of allies: an informant, the Panty Face Killer, or maybe... Sourdough’s rival from their sexual conquests (it’s complicated).
As the walls close in, there's only one clue left behind the final film the missing detective saw before vanishing: Tango & Cash. That’s right. Stallone. Russell. Muscles. Explosions. More one-liners than an 80's action movie.
Now, as Jared pieces together the mystery one VHS tape at a time, he and his new partner must uncover the truth behind the disappearance, survive a city crawling with crooked cops, and somehow review an 80s action movie so loud it might just blow their cover.
Will Ballistic clear his name... or go down in a blaze of synth and slow-motion justice? Tune in.
