The jazz club’s lights dim, spotlighting a figure in a red dress and white wig. Jason, undercover in a pinstripe suit, watches as the performer glides from stage to bar, singing about luck and ruin. The drag queen’s path leads directly to Jason, who chokes slightly on his whiskey. As the singer approaches, Jason’s pulse spikes.
