The trailer for Cold Weather which will make its world premiere at the 2010 SXSW Film Festival.
After making a mess of his life in Chicago, Doug returns home to rainy Portland, Oregon to live with his more stable and responsible sister, Gail. Unsure of what to do next, Doug spends his days sleeping until noon, and rereading old detective novels, while Gail goes about the daily routines of her quiet life. Eventually Doug manages to find a job working the night shift at an ice factory. There he meets Carlos, a longtime employee who moonlights as a DJ. Carlos is initially skeptical of Doug -- he's seen all kinds of people pass through the job -- but the two quickly become friends after Doug lends him a copy of his favorite book, 'The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes.'
An ex-girlfriend of Doug's named Rachel comes to town. Doug introduces her to Carlos, and the two quickly hit it off. But when she fails to turn up for their second date, Carlos suspects something bad must have happened. Convinced of foul play, he shows up at Doug and Gail's apartment in the middle of the night. At first Doug and Gail don't take Carlos's suspicions seriously, but eventually they begin to think there might be something to his claims. With Doug in the lead, relying largely on expertise gained from years of reading detective novels, they set out to investigate. What they discover is a complex trail of clues, leading them increasingly closer to the mysterious truth about Rachel.
