In post-pandemic Portland - a city once known for its quirks but now infamous for drugs, desperation, and machine politics - a prominent architect is viciously attacked in broad daylight, thrusting the city into the global spotlight. Cops, stretched thin, struggle to respond, and the victim's powerful father hires Jack Louis, a private investigator who has handled cases for Portland's elite and downtrodden alike. The case pulls Jack into the underbelly of the city's chaos: cartels, desperate families, and alienated teens caught in the crossfire. As he unravels a tangled web of addiction, family betrayal, and high-stakes politics, Jack discovers costly secrets that link Portland's wealthy powerbrokers with its most vulnerable citizens.
West Coast Noir evokes common people in a place of unfulfilled promise, betrayed opportunity, corruption, urban landscape on the edge of civilization ... and simple, but tragic, mistakes. Online, on television, and on its streets, we've witnessed a city laboring through a brutal adolescence, still unsure whether it wants any part in the American experiment. Portland, Oregon. The second century of West Coast Noir starts here.
