Elle Villanueva is an aspiring video game developer with too many side hustles and not enough follow-through. Between odd jobs, unpaid dreams, and her best friend Georgetta keeping her grounded, Elle is just trying to stay afloat in Los Angeles without fully admitting she’s avoiding the one thing she actually wants to create.

But when a strange whistleblower crashes into her life with a warning about debt, power, and forces operating far beyond the IRS, Elle brushes him off as another conspiracy guy with too much internet access. The next morning, her apartment is trashed, the whistleblower has vanished, and Elle and Georgetta are pulled into a trail of clues that sends them from Los Angeles to Las Vegas—and straight into the belly of a conspiracy much bigger than taxes.

As the girls dodge mysterious pursuers, uncover secret debt records, and descend into a hidden world beneath the glitter of Vegas, they discover that the sharks circling humanity’s financial systems may not be entirely metaphorical.

A sci-fi comedy adventure with a sharp bite, Tax Day follows two unlikely heroines as they stumble into an absurd, intergalactic conspiracy—and discover that saving the world might require Elle to finally stop running from her own imagination.
