Synopsis/Details
In SH+AGUAR “Subterranean Firestorm “, a convergence of worlds collide, crash, and burn—from the depths of Manhattan’s underground subways, to the 102nd floor Top Deck Observatory of the Empire State Building. Kitt Kougar (40s)—owner of Chelsea Place—Manhattan’s most fashionable nightclub—is a.k.a. Sh+aguar—an ultra powerful transgenic being. Half-woman, half-black jaguar, Sh+aguar possesses nine supernatural powers: Super Jaguar Bite Force; Rapid Telekinesis; Short Sleeper Syndrome; Enhanced Hearing; Instantaneous Teleportation; Enhanced Vision;Telepathy; Ultra Human Strength; and Fire Absorption (the ability to take in and neutralize fire, flames, intense heat, and electricity). Kitt returns to New York from Geneva, Switzerland with Jacobi (21), the son kidnapped from her at birth, twenty-one years earlier. She introduces him to some of Manhattan’s most famous landmarks and sights, then takes him to a quaint little tea parlor, where an old, veiled woman in a wheelchair enters, and sits directly across from them. Later, Kitt receives a call from Giancarlo Santini (50), Chelsea Place’s manager, warning her to avoid the Times Square area, where five teenage gang members were shot and killed by a robotic, gun-toting, assassin drone. This incident sets off a series of events that take Kitt and Jacobi on a harrowing journey into the abysmal world of Harlem’s most dangerous public housing projects. They meet Athena (16), sister of a slain gang member, who tells them about Yuan-Yuan (30), the Chinese “Money Man” who pays gang members in Harlem’s poorest neighborhoods to fight and kill each other. She warns them about Yuan-Yuan’s feared Russian boss—Nefarious Nyx— a weaponized cyborg, designed to wreak chaos and mass destruction. Kitt puts the pieces together and concludes that the “old woman” in the wheelchair, the depraved female pilot left for dead in a confrontation in Switzerland, and the mysterious person tracking her, are all the same—the Nefarious Nyx—out for revenge. It is revealed that Nefarious Nyx is a terrorist apparatus sponsored by an alliance between the Chinese, Russian, and Iranian governments. When America’s three major arch-villains dispatch the drone-laden cyborg to destroy Manhattan’s subways and the Empire State Building, she is confronted with a formidable rival—Sh+aguar—an ultra powerful transgenic woman— determined to take down the cyborg, and save New York’s most iconic landmark from imminent destruction.
