While pursuing a shadowy genius (John Newton) and the dangerous, reality-bending power he may possess, private detective Hoyle (Kipleigh Brown) begins to sense her own reality coming apart in this black-and-white homage to noir crime thrillers of the 1940s. Atmospheric images, philosophical digressions and a story told out of sequence all enhance the mystery in director James Kerwin's voyage into a world of hidden truths.
