La Méthode Zéro

A busted traffic light flickers on a wet downtown street. A manicured hand slides a case file across a cluttered desk. A genius detective who can’t leave the office or speak to humans solves crimes by phone. His assistant does everything else. A Jake Kasdan farce where the real mystery is why anyone talks to him at all.
