APOCALYPSE NOW NOW

A SHORT OF THE WEEK OFFICIAL PREMIERE

"My name is Baxter Zevcenko. I’m sixteen years old and I’ve killed people. Lots of people. At least, they tell me they were people. They looked more like monsters to me."

Baxter Zevcenko might be a serial killer. His girlfriend, Esme, is missing, and he’s the prime suspect. To clear his name, he’ll turn to Cape Town’s grizzliest, drunkest bounty hunter, Jackson ‘Jackie’ Ronin. Little does he know that Ronin is a supernatural bounty-hunter, and that he’s about to be dragged headlong into a deep, dark Cape Town underbelly full of monsters and myth, shadowy government forces, bloodthirsty crow-men and a conspiracy across time and space.
