Synopsis

The story is about a crime novelist (Downey Jr.) who languishes in his hospital bed and occupies his time by mapping out a screenplay in his head about a cynical private investigator who doubles as a singer in a dance band. Heavily medicated, his plot weaves with childhood memories and soon he is living in a film noir hell constructed by his own psyche.
