LIFEBLOOD the Audio Drama

LIFEBLOOD is a limited series audio drama telling the story of the small college town of Brightridge, where there is definitely nothing strange going on.

And if there were something strange going on, it would have absolutely nothing to do with the town’s new adolescent behavioral health center, Eos: New Horizons. And if that strange thing, which we remind you is not happening, were to be happening, it would doubtlessly not fall on the shoulders of Hugo Matthews, your average 30 year old college-drop-out-turned-bartender, to resolve said strange thing.

And Hugo, were he solving a strange thing going on that is definitely not going on, would unquestionably, undoubtedly, absolutely, surely, probably, maybe not also rope his childhood friend, Jackie, into helping him with resolving the unequivocally not happening thing that, again, is certainly, absolutely, under no circumstances happening and we really wish you would stop bringing it up.

She discovers that he was a leader of a Chinese gang, that he went to jail, and, in a final twist, that he poured his life story into a screenplay that was turned into a ’90s Hollywood action movie…starring Rob Lowe, Burt Reynolds, and Ice-T.
