The Missing Person
John Rosow is a private detective prone to sardonic wit, gin, and the endless repercussions of what happens when you mix the two.
Powerful lawyer Drexler Hewitt wants Rosow to tail a mysterious middle-aged man who is traveling with a Mexican boy from Chicago to Los Angeles. Hewitt’s loyal, stern assistant, Miss Charley, waits at the door with cash and instructions.
But when Rosow hits Santa Monica, his objective changes: now he has to bring the man back to New York for a cool half mil.
Through his various dealings with an odd cast of characters a cabdriver who knows his Catholic saints, a Segway-riding L.A. cop, meddling FBI agents, and femme fatales Rosow begins to unravel the strange tale of the missing middle-aged man and learns something about himself along the way.Starring: Michael Shannon, Amy Ryan, Frank Wood
