From the dazzling imagination that brought you "It Follows" and "The Myth of the American Sleepover" comes a delirious neo-noir thriller about one man's search for the truth behind the mysterious crimes, murders, and disappearances in his East L.A. neighbourhood. Sam (Andrew Garfield) is a disenchanted 33-year-old who discovers a mysterious woman, Sarah (Riley Keough), frolicking in his apartment's swimming pool. When she vanishes, Sam embarks on a surreal quest across Los Angeles to decode the secret behind her disappearance, leading him into the murkiest depths of mystery, scandal, and conspiracy in the City of Angels. From writer-director, David Robert Mitchell comes a sprawling and unexpected detective thriller about the Dream Factory and its denizens-dog killers, aspiring actors, glitter-pop groups, nightlife personalities, It girls, memorabilia hoarders, masked seductresses, homeless gurus, reclusive songwriters, sex workers, wealthy socialites, topless neighbours, and the shadowy billionaires floating above (and underneath) it all. Mining a noir tradition extending from "Kiss Me Deadly" and "The Long Goodbye" to "Chinatown" and "Mulholland Drive", Mitchell uses the topography of Los Angeles as a backdrop for a deeper exploration into the hidden meaning and secret codes buried within the things we love.
