When a young boy goes missing inside his own house, Detective Skok of the Missing Persons Unit immediately recognizes the unusualness of the case and takes the opportunity to have his team move in with the family and become residents of the crime scene. What follows is an investigation that leaves no stone unturned, no family member un-interrogated – and no wall without an entire wallpaper made up of missing posters.
Writing
Dialogue so deadpan you'll miss the jokes until they hit.
Production
That wallpaper of missing posters is unhinged genius.
Director
Mike Brune
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was crowdfunded through Kickstarter in 2011, back when 'absurdist missing persons comedy' was somehow a viable pitch to strangers.
The film satirizes the true crime boom before it fully exploded—Skok's team treats a home like a set, foreshadowing how we'd all later binge-watch real families' tragedies.
