When his PI brother-in-law goes missing, soft-boiled sleuth Perry "Pears" Matthews is put on the case by his very pregnant sister and now will have to fill the gumshoes he never thought he had.

Told through the eyes of Wenzle, an unsung hero tortured by a life of neglect and abuse, we are drawn into a hauntingly abstract dystopian world.

Could this be his chance to escape, or is it just another illusion?
