Writer/director James Kerwin infuses Raymond Chandler-influenced noir with a metaphysical twist by tracing the story of a female detective who's tough enough to take on even Philip Marlowe in this monochromatic mystery designed to challenge the viewer's very perception of reality. Hoyle (Kipleigh Brown) is a hard-drinking detective whose taste for bourbon betrays her razor-sharp sleuthing skills. Set out on the trail of a reclusive genius (John Newton), however, Hoyle soon finds her life becoming increasingly fragmented and surreal. The only people that Hoyle can trust as she begins to uncover a series of mind-bending cosmological secrets are her loyal partner (Mik Scriba) and a scintillating lounge singer (Chase Masterson). But wherever Hoyle goes, she is shadowed by a mysterious figure (Peter Mayhew) whom she is soon destined to meet, and who may just possess the power to bend reality. In a world of black and white, Hoyle is about to take a bizarre journey into the divine gradients of grey invisible to the naked eye. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

I loved all of the T.S.Eliot and Quantum Physics and linear vs.non-linear time and...uh...what was it about?

J H.

A smartly worked noir about memory, regret, and the folding of time. This may be the best use of the talented Chase Masterson in a long while. Dullards will be lost, thinkers will be engrossed.

Frakking loved this. Anybody who finds this a "complete waste of time" is, by their very existence, a complete waste of time. Chew on that.
