A playful, neo-noir comedy that riffs on Chandler's hard-boiled detective archetype with a tongue-in-cheek sensibility and period atmosphere.

Inspired by the stories of the American writer Raymond Chandler, the classical hero is private detective Phil Marlowe, a romantic cowboy, who takes the law into his own hands in the rough prairie of a large city.
