## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

You wake in 1930s New York with the gift of invisibility—except when it’s stolen by a madman vowing nuclear ruin. When Shiwan Khan assumes your identity to trigger doom, you step back into the shadows to reclaim control. Mulcahy’s neon-noir pulses with pulp energy, leaving you inside a comic book brought violently to life.

**Mood tags**: neon-soaked, playful, unhinged
