THEME //
At its core, SCOUNDRELS explores what happens when admiration pulls someone into a life they don’t fully understand.
It’s a story about chasing answers, mistaking proximity for purpose, and discovering that the things we look up to often demand more than we expect in return. The series examines guilt, misplaced loyalty, and the slow erosion of identity that comes from staying too long in a world that was never meant to feel like home.

PROJECT HISTORY
The story was first developed by Blair Harris during his early years as a filmmaker, envisioned as a grounded crime drama focused on character, consequence, and moral collapse. While the narrative ambition was clear from the start, the scale the story demanded proved difficult to realize responsibly as an independent film.
Rather than give up the story, the project was placed on hold.
That pause led back to the medium that inspired the story in the first place. Comics offered the freedom to tell the story without compromise allowing relationships, themes, and consequences to unfold with precision and intent.
The current series represents the culmination of that evolution: a story refined through restraint, rebuilt with purpose, and released in the form it was always meant to take.
