Juliet Forrest is convinced that the reported death of her father in a mountain car crash was no accident. Her father was a prominent cheese scientist working on a secret recipe. To prove it was murder, she enlists the services of private eye Rigby Reardon. He finds a slip of paper containing a list of people who are 'The Friends and Enemies of Carlotta'.
A fractured landscape of black-and-white noir tropes meets a chaotic, color-saturated slapstick energy. This frantic detective romp turns a simple cheese-related murder mystery into a dizzying barrage of visual gags and rapid-fire wordplay.
