Intended for adult audiences. Strong language, sexual situations, substance abuse and lewd behavior. Viewer discretion is advised. Hardwire Heartache is the first work of the newly minted CMND/CTRL production team. This labor of love harkens back to the old school, "Radio Drama" style of entertainment that reached its peak in the 1930's and 40's. Written and performed by unpaid, amateur actors and producers, every sound effect and piece of ambience is created and recorded by hand in the old style. The story is a love letter to classic works such as blade runner, electric sheep, dragnet and Ruby - galactic gumshoe. Set in the year 2886, in a nearly lawless galaxy. The story follows a wannabe gumshoe Daniel Birx and his reporter friend Mikey, who get mixed up in the deadly world of illegal clones and murderous assassin Androids. Their travels take them through worlds that are as fantastical as they are absurd, with danger and wonder lurking around every corner. __________________ Interested in collaborating or lending your voice to future projects?
