Bernadette Marez has had a truly terrible career trajectory. On her third day as a lab tech she was ordered to collect semen from Bigfoot. The situation escalated. The lab was destroyed. Bigfoot escaped. Then he was hit by a semi truck.

Three years later Bernie survives Quantico, becomes an FBI Special Agent, and assumes her life will finally involve normal crimes like hackers or smugglers or at least crimes committed by humans. She is wrong. The FBI sends her right back to the redwoods for Project Pink Lemonade. Turns out Bigfoot was not the only one. Turns out his biology might cure blindness. Turns out the government would very much like to get their hands on that.

Now Bernie is hunting a cryptid with a silent brick wall of a partner named Alan who looks like a fitness model, talks in two word sentences, and radiates the kind of energy that says he will absolutely throw someone into the ocean if necessary. Between karaoke bars, boardwalk chaos, suspicious government agents, aggressive butterflies, and a growing attraction she refuses to unpack, Bernie has to survive the forest, the Bureau, and the very real possibility of seeing another nine foot naked monster.

Pink Lemonade is a dark romantic comedy soaked in paranormal nonsense, sexual tension, and unhinged government decisions. It features a mouthy female lead, monster adjacent chaos, and the firm belief that professionalism is optional. Drink responsibly. Or do not.
