Johnny Talon is a surreal detective, which means that he employs unusual methods for his investigations: relying more on the subconscious mind than rationality, where the latter only leads to a dead end.
His latest case, however, truly calls for this. Not only does it help to trust one's intuition, but the reality itself reacts to what is happening in the subconscious. Clothes change within a blink, a car transforms, and even some stolen items found in a dream come into his possession in reality, when he wakes up. And yes, as long as we're talking of the subconscious, did I mention sex? ;)
But even more importantly, what happens in the subconscious reflects our deepest urges and desired, traumas and addictions, which can manifest as demons, too. So, the surreal detective and his quite unusual client have to work to change themselves, addressing those traumas and addictions.
