Zero Effect
The world's most private detective.
Directed by Jake Kasdan
Produced by Castle Rock Entertainment, Manifest Film Company
A clever, character-driven mystery-comedy about a brilliant but socially inept detective and his long-suffering assistant, balancing puzzle-solving with quirky interpersonal dynamics.
Daryl Zero is a private investigator and—along with his assistant, Steve Arlo—he solves impossible crimes and puzzles. Although Daryl's a master investigator, he doesn't know what to do with himself when he's not working; he has no social skills, writes bad music and drives Steve crazy.
