Imagine the high-octane grit of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners (2022) and the timeless tragedy of Gladiator (2000). Enter: The Big Pit.
In the year 2121, the Sunset Strip lives on two things: adrenaline and neon. At its heart lies The Big Pit. A brutal arena where the desperate bleed their pockets dry on bets, while the powerful enjoy their custom-made sordid playground. Louie Ashkenazy is the old star gladiator of the Pit, but age is a debt he can no longer outrun.
Louie is losing his edge, and in a world where performance is survival, he's one loss away from the scrap heap.
When a mysterious woman named Bobbie approaches him with a gift that crawls like a living thing, the choice seems simple. She offers him an experimental, impossible nanotechnology enhancement-a way to bypass his failing biology and reclaim his throne.
But the lines between man and machine begin to blur, and Louie realizes the tech has a mind of its own. Thrust into a conspiracy that reaches far beyond the arena floor, he must navigate a landscape of jump juice and body-mods to discover the truth.
To stay at the top, Louie must decide: Is he willing to become a science experiment for the sake of the crowd, or is he ready to rot in the gutters of the Strip?
