What if California refused to be ruled?
From the creators of Young Terrorists, Matteo Pizzolo (Godkiller) and Amancay Nahuelpan (Clandestino), comes this tale of resisting oppression, punching Nazis, protecting each other, kicking ass, and demanding liberty for all. In CALEXIT, the citizens of California struggle to seize power back from an autocratic government.
Jamil, a 25 year old courier (aka smuggler), and Zora, a 27-year old leader in the Mulholland Resistance, attempt to escape Occupied Los Angeles, where martial law has been in place for the past year — ever since America's demagogue President signed an executive order to deport all immigrants, and California responded by proclaiming itself a Sanctuary State.
