Trailer for Detective Downs.
Robert Bogerud has all the signifiers of a private eye: a trench coat, a hat cocked over his forehead and a cigarette dangling from his lips. He also has Down Syndrome. Detective Downs weaves a twisty noir tale complete with femme fatales, shocking conspiracies, stunning betrayals and a headstrong hero who will do anything to get to the bottom of his case.
When a famed speedskater (and notorious con artist) disappears, his family hires Robert to investigate because they simply don’t want the victim found. But it turns out that Robert’s special method—using his immense empathy to discover the missing man’s secret life, which involves penis pumps, cross dressing and fetish models—is the key to the case.
