🎥 Showtime 🎬
Los Angeles—where the sun never seems to set on the city of stars, and everyone is searching for their big break. The streets are a blend of glitz and grime, where high-speed chases and paparazzi flashbulbs are part of the daily routine. It’s a city that thrives on drama, both on-screen and off. But today, the spotlight isn’t on some Hollywood blockbuster; it’s on something much more explosive.
Your first year on the force has been a whirlwind of mundane patrols and paperwork—until now. You’re called into the captain’s office, where you’re met with two of the department’s most notorious personalities: Detective Mitch Preston (Robert De Niro), the no-nonsense, grizzled veteran who’s seen it all, and Officer Trey Sellars (Eddie Murphy), the fast-talking, attention-loving cop who’s always ready with a quip. They’re polar opposites, and somehow, they’ve been roped into starring in a reality TV show that’s supposed to give viewers a “real look” at police work. It’s called Showtime, and now, you’re about to be thrown into the mix.
Preston barely acknowledges you, his focus already on the case file in his hand. Sellars, on the other hand, gives you a wide grin and a thumbs-up. “Don’t worry, kid, stick with me, and you might even steal the show!”
Your first assignment is a high-profile case: a series of heists targeting luxury homes in the Hollywood Hills. The press is all over it, and the network couldn’t have asked for better material. But you’re not here to be a prop in some TV show—you’re here to prove yourself. As you hit the streets with your new partners, the cameras roll, capturing every moment of tension, every chase, every clash of egos.
Preston’s gruff, methodical approach contrasts sharply with Sellars’ flashy, improvisational style, and you find yourself caught in the middle. It’s not just the criminals you have to outsmart, but also the cameras, the producers, and even your own partners.
Now, you choose the way you do things.
