A dark comedy about Honey O'Donahue, a small-town private investigator, who delves into a series of strange deaths tied to a mysterious church.
Margaret Qualley (‘The Substance’) plays Honey O’Donoghue, a private detective in Bakersfield, California, who has the deep voice and steady gaze of a hard-boiled femme fatale from the 1950s, driving a vintage turquoise Chevrolet SS and batting off the attentions of a local cop (Charlie Day) by telling him, “I like girls” which indeed she does. Her curiosity is piqued when a woman who reaches out to her for help ends up dead at the bottom of a cliff. This leads her to sniff around a local church run by the lascivious Chris Evans as Reverend Drew, a holy man who deals drugs on the side and likes to have sex with his congregation. This comedic neo-noir is the second of a trilogy of films co-written and directed by Ethan Coen (the first being ‘Drive-Away Dolls’).
