Logline
When a young woman suspects her boyfriend is cheating, she and her tech-savvy best friend turn into digital detectives, accidentally uncovering more than they bargained for.
Synopsis
Nikita is twenty-nine and almost certain her boyfriend is lying to her. Her best friend Temi has a laptop, a corkboard and no sense of proportion. Over one escalating day the two of them turn a bedroom into a detective headquarters, and find out how far a friendship will go on very little evidence.
A hyper-stylised comedy short built on split screens, rapid-fire monologues and montage. In tone, Only Murders in the Building meets Broad City.
