## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Mulholland Drive slick with rain, 1954.  
A LAPD vice detail scours hillside mansions and back-alley jazz clubs after a Hollywood ingenue is found strangled beside a vintage Cadillac.  
Tamahori’s noir-tinged procedural treats corruption like a second skin—no heroes, just cops and crooks trading favors in the smog.

**Mood tags**: neon-soaked, paranoid, raw
