Smuggler's Stitch

Release Date: July 28, 2026

Reservations are now closed.

Cedric makes a living solving problems with fabric, engineering, and a bit of creative stubbornness.

In the high-impact world of professional wrestling, his job is straightforward: design costumes that can withstand brutal slams while still looking heroic under the arena lights. Rival designers poaching his clients? Frustrating, sure—but part of the business.

An alien firefight on the side of the road? 

That’s definitely not part of the job description. 

After a long day at the arena, Cedric expects nothing more than a quiet drive home. Instead, an explosion rips through the forest beside the road. Energy blasts scorch the trees, and an armored warrior crashes into the clearing—closely pursued by two hunters determined to end the chase. 

Cedric isn’t a fighter. He isn’t a hero. He’s a tailor.

But sometimes surviving the night comes down to understanding how things are built… and figuring out how to stitch together a solution when everything starts coming apart.
