Lethal Ladies - Neo Noir Cinematic Universe.

DECEIT - is our first film, a Social Suspense Thriller Neo Noir with a twisty Noir storyline that introduces one of our main Ensemble Members in the Universe, Baddie. When we first meet her she is set up to be ornpook like she is going to be the Femme Fatale that causes the demise of the leading man, however the first twist is that she is actually the hero of the film but kinda like a duck on pond water most of her hard work and talents are done below the surface.

Baddie is a Deductive genius as her Atypical Personality and more importantly unusual way of thinking removes normal social biases leaving only fact and logic. She’s kinda like a crypto influencer version of Spock from Star Trek meets a Sherlock with a Adult Modeling cover from Sherlock Holmes, except she has extreme introversion and social anxiety so most of her work is handled in the meta verse and the world of crypto. Her storyline and character arc take our audiences from the grounded realism of Modern day femme fatale character driven suspenseful noir to the more eclectic CyberPunk Noir part of the Lethal Ladies Universe.
