Tim and Lee are married with a young child. The chance to stay at a fancy home in the Hollywood Hills is complicated by Tim’s discovery of a bone and a rusty old gun in the yard. Tim is excited by the idea of a mystery, but Lee doesn’t want him to dig any further, preferring that he focus on the family taxes, which he promised to do weeks ago. This disagreement sends them on separate and unexpected adventures over the course of a weekend, as Tim and his friends seek clues to the mystery while Lee searches for answers to the bigger questions of marriage and parenthood.
“Equal parts film noir, relationship drama, dark comedy and mood piece, Digging for Fire is a movie made by someone who clearly loves the art of movies.” -Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun-Times
“…an attractively shot, gracefully edited and, finally, emotionally satisfying mystery about the nature of marriage itself.” -Ann Hornaday, Washington Post
“The film has an appealing honesty and an enjoyably low-key comic style.” -A.O. Scott, New York Times
