The Gatecrashers: Daily Logs

Welcome to Palomar City, a tightly-packed, overpopulated American mega-city. Over the last sixty years, a series of traffic control devices known as Gates have transformed this thriving metropolis into a pressure cooker of political tension that is on the verge of exploding.

One of the only groups with unrestricted passage through the Gates are the emergency medical teams, nicknamed "The Gatecrashers," who find themselves in the middle of a building conflict that threatens to tear Palomar City apart once and for all. The Gatecrashers is an intense, immersive, near-future cyberpunk series about a city struggling to save itself and the people who risk their lives every day to save yours.

The Daily Logs are short dips into different lives and dark corners of Palomar City.

Meet Hex Spencer, a 25-year-old freelance ambulance medic, a Gatecrasher. Hex sports two massive, red-cross tattoos on both of her muscular shoulders.

But after taking care of her abandoned niece Melita while watching her mother die in the hospital, Hex knew it was time to get out. Dr. Stahl, who cared for her dying mother, managed to get her a job Gatecrashing. Every day is a struggle to avoid the streets' lure and stay on the right side of the law.
