Sold by Mighty Ape
Disillusioned with his life behind the counter of his family’s grocery store in San Francisco, Crash Anuman longs for something greater. Everything changes when he meets Fred – a hyper-intelligent sea lion with a tragic past, a sharp wit, and a green bucket hat that’s seen better days. When a ruthless tech mogul, Leonard Trice, sets his sights on Fred as part of a sprawling surveillance scheme, Crash is pulled into an adventure that’s equal parts absurd and profound. Together, Crash and Fred rally their eccentric neighborhood to expose the truth and defend the city they love, discovering along the way that belonging, integrity, and friendship are what truly make life extraordinary. Blending humor, heart, and tech-fueled intrigue, Crash and Fred is a modern fable about connection, courage, and self-discovery.
