THE STORY

A legendary grifter who has made his entire career operating inside dying American malls — running scams, brokering underground deals, and maintaining a complex ecosystem of dependent hustlers — faces an existential crisis when his last mall announces it is closing. With nowhere left to hawk, he must decide whether to evolve or disappear with the institution that made him.

Mall Hawk is a mordantly funny social satire about the economy of decline, the dignity of the hustle, and the strange grief of watching the only world you understood go dark.
