Brick is a neo-noir mystery film that follows high school student Brendan Frye as he investigates the disappearance of his ex-girlfriend, Emily. Set in a modern-day Californian high school, the story is infused with classic noir elements, including a hardboiled detective narrative, femme fatales, and a complex web of deceit. Brendan navigates a labyrinth of drug dealers and social cliques to uncover the truth, all while dealing with the emotional fallout from his past relationship with Emily.
