Crisis Actor

Craig Linton is a starving artist in the gig economy, with only a string of failed auditions and lost roles to his name. As least he earns a regular salary as a crisis actor.

Playing dead for emergency-response training simulations isn't rewarding work for a serious thespian, but it's a living.

His big break comes when he's recruited by the mysterious Warren Wolcott, a United States senator with no political convictions beyond his own Machiavellian schemes and nefarious agendas.

What starts as a fake-news performance for the media circus soon sees Craig descending into a dangerous world of conspiracies, paranoia, and secret societies-where loyalty is assured by the threat of public exposure, and silence guaranteed by private execution.

The role of a lifetime promises fame and fortune, if only he can survive long enough to enjoy the windfall.
