Plot Summary

A quirky small town is thrown into a frenzy when a series of bizarre, seemingly unrelated events occur. Detective Miles Corbin, a man more comfortable with puzzles than people, must unravel the strange occurrences before panic truly sets in. What starts as a string of oddities soon points to a much larger, more eccentric mystery that will challenge his deductive skills and the town's perception of reality.

Critical Reception

Definitely Something has garnered a mixed to positive reception, praised for its unique premise and offbeat humor, though some critics found the pacing uneven in the middle act. Audiences have largely responded well to its unconventional approach to mystery storytelling.
