The filmmaker and author of the Vernon Subutex trilogy delivers "a terrific page-turner...a compelling punk, queerish spin on the noir genre" (Maggie Nelson, author of The Argonauts).

As their desperate search unfolds, they interrogate a suspicious cast of characters, and the dark heart of contemporary youth culture is exposed
