Midtown Mixup

From the seedy underbelly near the East River of Manhattan

to a posh, Lenox Hill apartment to the iconic South Street Seaport comes

Midtown Mixup.

It’s all about a shy, nerdy science major

who finally gets the nerve to help his crush,

and finds himself embroiled in murder and international intrigue.

It’s After Hours meets Rope.
