Ria Gardner

A pretty young songbird found murdered on Hollywood Boulevard. The crusty old Private Eye who was in love with her. A smooth-talking seductress who hires him to solve the crime. A bulldog detective with a nose for the truth and a leash held by city hall. A long list of suspects with a long list of alibis. A sprinkling of dirty secrets. A zest of clever lies. These are the ingredients of an homage to the PI films of Hollywood's Golden Age.

Dean is a wreck of a man trapped in an abyss of drugs and unsafe sex, living his life with little concern for himself or others. Teetering on the edge, hardly anything or anyone can affect Dean’s lifestyle except the need for more drugs. Though proclaiming himself “straight” Dean is willing to do just about anything to satisfy his urges, including participating in orgies and gay sex in the back of a car. Other characters include Dean's neighbor Ellsworth who barters Ketamine (special K) for sex, Brioni who throws a party/orgy and Cyja - Dean's ex-girlfriend and drug counselor.
