A private investigator takes what seems like a routine missing-person job for a former actress, tracking her runaway daughter from Los Angeles to Florida. As he digs deeper, the case tangles with Hollywood’s stunt world, uneasy relationships, and a troubling discovery that suggests something far darker is hiding in plain sight.

About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a laid-back, character-focused detective mystery with a sunny-but-bleak mood and moral murkiness; Not for you if you need fast thrills, clear answers, or a tidy payoff like The French Connection.
Pros: moody neo-noir vibe; sharp dialogue; strong lead performance | Cons: slow-burn pacing; confusing plot threads; bleak, cynical tone
