A cynical P.I.’s routine missing-person case turns into a high-stakes game of survival when a cryptic package makes him the prime target in a shadow war between two rival secret societies. As the lies stack up and the conspiracies close in, he’ll have to outwit cultists, outmaneuver government agents and—somehow—piece together the truth before it drives him nuts.

SYNOPSIS:

This script is a kinetic, foul-mouthed, and fiercely original neo-noir satire filtered through the cracked lens of Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Burn After Reading, and The Big Lebowski—with a smattering of Repo Man’s paranoid energy and Coen Bros. irreverence.

Hunter "Hound Dog" Chase is a private investigator who wants no part of the bullshit—but bullshit finds him anyway. What begins as a simple missing person’s case (Squirrel’s wife, Carla) quickly derails into a spiraling labyrinth of drugged-up hipsters, unhinged agents, philosophical stoners, and glowing UFO metaphors. And all of it revolves around a locked icebox that everybody seems to want—and nobody can open.
