Kiss Kiss Bang Bang

Harry Lockhart's misadventure begins with a botched burglary that leaves his friend shot. In a panic, he narrowly escapes the police pursuit, stumbling into an audition that changes his life.

During the audition, Harry's frantic display of guilt is mistaken for method acting. This unexpected turn impresses the producers and leads Harry into a new world of Hollywood.

At a Hollywood party, Harry meets Perry van Shrike, a suave private investigator. Perry is tasked with teaching Harry how to navigate the detective world for his new role.

Harry's night takes an interesting turn when he encounters his childhood crush, Harmony Lane. The following morning, he wakes up next to her friend, leaving him filled with regret.

Harry and Perry witness a vehicle being thrown into a lake, leading them to suspect foul play. Perry, in an attempt to be heroic, accidentally shoots the trunk lock, revealing a corpse inside.

Harmony reaches out to Harry about her troubled sister, Jenna, who has taken advantage of her credit cards and recently committed suicide. She believes Jenna's death might be tied to murder.

Following his conversation with Harmony, Harry finds the corpse from the lake in his bathroom, along with a hidden gun. In a panic, he and Perry dispose of the body, which is later identified as Veronica Dexter.

While visiting Harmony, an unfortunate accident results in Harry's finger being severed when she accidentally slams the door. Despite the injury, he attends a party with her.

At the party, Harry is kidnapped by the lake's killers after they threaten him into abandoning his investigation. Harmony overhears their plans and rushes to warn Perry.

Harmony bravely confronts the criminals heading to Perry's surveillance site. This results in a dramatic confrontation where one of the criminals is killed by an unexpected hero—a food-cart operator.

A pink-haired accomplice inadvertently kidnaps Harry, taking him to a safe house. In the ensuing chaos, Harry manages to recover a firearm and eliminate the remaining threats but loses his severed finger once more.

In a heated confrontation, Harmony reveals to Harry that she had shared her secret about Harlan Dexter being her biological father with Jenna. This discovery creates tension between them.

Harry and Perry investigate Harlan Dexter's health clinic, uncovering a cover-up regarding Veronica Dexter. In their desperation, they accidentally kill a guard during their frantic rush.

After a series of events, Harry confronts Harlan Dexter, who reveals his plan to cremate Veronica’s remains. Tensions escalate into a shootout, leaving Perry injured and Harry shot.

In the hospital, Harry learns the tragic truth about Jenna’s death from Perry, who explains it was a suicide stemming from trauma. The tale concludes with Harry finding a new direction in his career.
