Welcome to PulseTown™

Tucked away in the Oregon high desert is the dying town of Prospect Bend. PulseTech, a mysterious corporate entity, promises to revitalize and save Prospect Bend from bankruptcy. As the townspeople sign away their autonomy, they are systematically reshaped into the perfect vision of masculinity: bronzed, sculpted, obedient, and mindlessly content. Old-school cowboy Buck Stamets, weary priest Father Dale, and paranoid libertarian Nate “The Pate” Ferguson each try to resist in their own way, but PulseTech’s grip is relentless, turning them into willing disciples of a new order where strength is pleasure, thinking is obsolete, and flexing is the highest virtue. A darkly satirical dystopian horror laced with humor, eroticism, and body horror, Welcome to PulseTown™ explores what happens when corporate influence becomes a town’s ultimate aesthetic rebranding.
