But what is Rasp all abput?
A soulless detective conducts a seemingly simple investigation that turns into an incredible experience which will change him forever.
Detective Agent Fritz Rasp works for ‘The Agency’… a ruthless, all-powerful institution that enforces order and discipline across a vast enslaved city.
He is considered the perfect agent until the day his dark and puritanical worldview is challenged by a seemingly everyday investigation that quickly spirals out of his control and comprehension.
Now forced to question everything he believes in, something unexpected awakens within him…
An imagination!
So begins the self-discovery of this once ‘soulless’ detective as he attempts to solve the greatest mystery of his life and escape from the prison he has been unwittingly born into.
In this first part of a limited series, we see the very beginning of Rasp’s journey as a routine search for a missing employee of ‘The City’ turns into an experience that will change him forever.
To give you a rough idea of the overall tone of the story… if you’re a big fan of things like: Fritz Lang’s Metropolis, Sherlock Holmes, Bladerunner, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, George Orwell’s ‘1984’ or V For Vendetta… there’s a good chance you’re going to like ‘Rasp’ too.
