The Agency's best has a bad case of nerves.

ActionComedyRomanceThriller

Legendary undercover DEA agent Charlie Mayough has suddenly lost his nerves of steel. On the verge of a career-induced mental breakdown, and in complete fear of trigger-happy Mafia leader Fulvio Nesstra, Charlie seeks psychiatric help and finds himself relying on the support of an unstable therapy group and nurse Judy just to get through his work.

VIBE

A darkly comedic thriller where the tension comes less from the cartel and more from the protagonist's unraveling psyche. It's a quirky, anxious ride through therapy sessions and near-misses, all wrapped in a late-90s aesthetic.
