Meet Tate Debs, a hardboiled hard drinking leather loving dyke detective with an office in the back of Los Angeles’s last video store. When a femme who may just be fatale hires Tate to infiltrate a mystical group that sounds suspiciously like the cult Tate escaped years ago, she must decide if Vera’s charms are worth being re-traumatized. Deprog is a new crime thriller from Tina Horn (SfSx) and Lisa Sterle (Witchblood) that’s John Constantine meets Jessica Jones with a kinky Midsommar twist.
