About
Daryl Zero is a private investigator and—along with his assistant, Steve Arlo—he solves impossible crimes and puzzles. Although Daryl's a master investigator, he doesn't know what to do with himself when he's not working; he has no social skills, writes bad music and drives Steve crazy.
This quirky detective story swaps hard-boiled tropes for a brilliant, socially stunted genius who is more interested in bad songwriting than human connection. It finds its charm in the friction between a high-functioning mind and a total lack of common sense.
