Premise: As a Chicago
novelist (Downey) lays, bedridden and feverish with an extreme case of psioriasis, he reworks the story of his first novel,
The Singing Detective, in his mind, becoming the title character himself, who's on pursuit of Nazis in the 1940's... but the
battle he's actually waging, of course, is with his own demons. (Penn plays his ex-wife who's a nurse; Gibson plays his psychiatrist;
Gugino plays his mother during flashback sequences)
