Jude sees ghosts. Cecilia sees opportunities. Together they are RED LIGHT PROPERTIES, South Florida's #1 source for previously-haunted real estate.
The Hook
Would YOU buy a house in Miami way below market value if a "psychic" couple could guarantee they'd removed the ghosts that haunted it?

Cultural Relevance
• Hyper-Local Storytelling: Part of RLP's charm is its specific sense of place: the sunshine and sleaze and menace and wildness of South Florida rendered as comic, never as caricature.
• Aging Hipster Hero: Hitting that mid-Gen X sweet spot of flabby, balding, furious, and touched by the holy fire of too many drugs.
• Psychedelic Shamanism: Jude enters the spirit world to perform his exorcisms with heroic does of various psychedelics. Every day. Oh boy.
• Santería: Rooted in South Florida, RLP portrays santería as a religion, not a horror trope. As Jude explores the Powerful Family, so will we.
• Late Capitalism: There is no greater horror in America than our crumbling systems. That's really what RLP is about. Plus rising oceans.
