Night Shift: An Urban Fantasy Audio Drama

Season 2 is COMING but we need your help! Support our crowdfund to fund the continuation of our story: https://igg.me/at/nightshiftpodcast

Six months have passed since the finale events of Season One, and Sebastian Fen's hands are tied. Between his questionable contract with the Augur Corporation, trying to keep his powers under control, and the secrets of the AIU, his very survival is bound to the deluge of agreements that swear him to silence. His budding relationship with Augur's poster boy, Dr. Angelo Volta, hangs over him and keeps him from stepping out of line.

But the threat of the Mercurii still looms, and with the figurehead of the city's black market on the run, Echor's criminal underbelly has unraveled into chaos. Through it all, Sebastian never stopped recording, and it's time to share it with the world.
