It’s a hot night in a cold city. A hardboiled detective walks the street looking for answers. Answers to questions no one wants to ask. Questions you’re not supposed to ask. But he’s here to ask them. He’s the only one to dare to ask— why won’t women date nice guys?

My father is a builder. It’s difficult to get his attention in magnificent spaces because he’s lost in wonder. We were in front of a Snoopy years ago and I asked him what it would cost to build it today. I’ll never forget his answer:
