## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Britt Reid inherits a newspaper empire but would rather party than print, until a mechanic named Kato reminds him crime still pays. Together they adopt hornet-themed vigilantism to battle a villain who takes the whole “organized crime” thing personally. The result? A comic book filtered through the sensibilities of someone who once made Eternal Sunshine.

**Mood tags**: playful, unhinged
