Hammett
“The mystery writer who lived his own stories!”
DramaThriller
Chinatown, San Francisco, 1928. Former private detective Dashiell Hammett, a compulsive drinker with tuberculosis who writes pulp fiction for a living, receives an unexpected visit from an old friend asking for help.
VIBE
A smoky, rain-slicked dive into the underbelly of 1920s San Francisco. It feels like being pulled into a hardboiled detective novel, where every shadow hides a secret and trust is a dangerous commodity. Cynical and atmospheric.
