The Kid Detective
2020, English. Directed by Evan Morgan.
No longer a kid. Not much of a detective.
A once-celebrated kid detective, now 31, continues to solve the same trivial mysteries between hangovers and bouts of self-pity. Until a naive client brings him his first 'adult' case, to find out who brutally murdered her boyfriend.
