Gathering Tremblays two classic noirs, The Little Sleep and No Sleep Till Wonderland, watch Genevich unravel the mystery of missing people when the questions are, when did he fall asleep and who hired him in the first place
The Little Sleep is Paul Tremblays nod to Raymond Chandler starring a PI who nods off. Mark Genevich is a South Boston private detective who happens to have a severe form of narcolepsy, which includes hypnagogic hallucinations, like waking dreams. Unsurprisingly, his practice is not exactly booming.
Then one day the daughter of an ambitious district attorney and a contestant on the reality talent show American Star named Jennifer Times comes to him for help or does she A man has stolen her fingers, she claims, and shed like Genevich to get them back. When the PI wakes up from what must surely be a hallucination, the only evidence that his client may have been real is a manila envelope on his desk.
Narcoleptic Southie PI Mark Genevich is back in this sequel to The Little Sleep.
Like most private eyes, Mark Genevich is something of a lone wolf. So group therapy isnt a great fit. But his landlord/mother is convinced it will help his narcolepsy ignoring the fact that his disorder is a physical condition. Truth is, he has the time. Its been a year and a half since his last big case, and his business could best be described as, well, sleepy.
Its never a wise choice to go on a two-day bender with someone you meet in group therapy, but theres something about Gus that intrigues Genevich. And when his new drinking buddy asks him to protect a female friend whos being stalked, the PI finally has a case.
