The Switch
2016, 180 minutes
The poster features six jovial people in various colourful clothing nestled tightly into a chaotic lineup and staring into the camera. The person on the left has light brown skin, short dark hair and a dark beard, wears a green scarf, a light lavender dress shirt and bright yellow jeans, and stands with their hands playfully resting on the shoulders of the person next to them. The next person has light skin, short dark hair, wears a black leather jacket and blue jeans, has a cigarette dangling from their mouth, and is shrugging in a defiant manner. The next person over is mostly hidden behind the people to the left and right; they pop their head up over the others' shoulders with a wide grin. They have light skin, short brown-blonde hair and wear an olive-green jacket. The next person over has light brown skin, long dark hair, wears a light blue dress, and shrugs in a welcoming manner with an equally welcoming smile. The next person over has light skin, prominent eye-liner, black hair in a bob cut, wears a denim skirt over red leggings and a purple sweater over a brown leather jacket over a warm pink shirt. Their hands are on their hips, and their smile is widest of the six people. They are also noticeably shorter than the other five. The person farthest to the right has light skin and dark hair, and wears a grey business suit with black pants. Their hands are on their hips, and their expression is extremely neutral compared to the animated expressions of the others. The background is bright blue, with a blurred-out city scape faintly visible. Above the people is the title of the series, "THE SWITCH," with the word "the" in white and the word "switch" in hot pink. Beneath the title is the tagline, "Work. Love. Mortal Danger."

Description

Sü fled Trump’s America to start her life over again in Canada, changing careers, countries — and genders! The first two changes go swimmingly. The third leaves her unemployed and crashing with her ex, a dumpster-diving eco-asasin. Thrown into sketchy employment, “alternative” community, and a new identity, can Sü claw her way back to her old life? Or, to her horor, will she adapt and thrive?
