Dan Dark (ROBERT DOWNEY JR.) a writer of pulp detective novels, languishes in hospital incapacitated both physically and mentally by a rare skin disease. More or less unable to move, Dark occupies his time by mapping out a screenplay in his head based on his first novel THE SINGING DETECTIVE. Strongly influenced by the style of Raymond Chandler, it is about a hard-boiled and cynical private investigator who doubles as a singer in a dance band. The character is slowly drawn into a web of intrigue during the murder investigation of a prostitute in 1950s Los Angeles.
