Synopsis: Kasia Pomes is a Polish immigrant in her mid 50s living in Santiago managing an apartment building for an organized crime syndicate. Bitter about the many years she has put in she now wants out but isn’t “allowed” to leave, so she’s forced to find a way to change that.
It’s not just the length of time that she’s worked there, it’s how dangerous her living situation has become. A gang war has escalated and her building is a prime target. The problem is the gang she looks after, the Nieznajomi, won’t simply let her leave. She’s too valuable, loyal and trusted.
Her centrally located building is a crime haven. It’s a second home for the crime syndicate’s members when they can’t get back to their real residences and lives. The Strangers of Santiago or the Nieznajomi are illegal immigrants that have been brought over to help in the operations in exchange for a new life.

Our world is global, but our voice is personal—born from the raw intimacy of memoir, the grit of underground art, and the cinematic sweep of film.
We sell directly to readers because we believe stories shouldn’t be filtered through boardrooms or trend forecasts. Every book, screenplay, and film we release carries depth, quality, and the kind of subtle power that lingers long after the last page or final frame.
This is a home for indie lovers who crave no-holds-barred honesty, for the art scene that thrives in the shadows, for those who believe literature and cinema should challenge, not comfort. We are self-published by choice, so the work you hold in your hands is untouched by compromise—just the way it was meant to be experienced.
