F/X

Late autumn Manhattan. A strobe from a Times Square billboard flickers against the rain-slicked windshield. A freelance FX artist gets pulled into a sting—fake a mob boss’s murder for a government cover-up. Then Washington betrays him, so he stages a second death, this one real. The trickster trapped by his own illusions.
