Secrecy_

Named after a popular American TV show by his parents, Marlowe's life takes a sharp turn when he's left on the streets to fend for himself. Set against the backdrop of California's dangerous underworld, Marlowe grows up with the constant threat of gangs and violence, honing his survivalist instincts.

As he enters adulthood, Marlowe finds himself burdened with an insurmountable debt of over $600,000 from his studies in Psychology and Criminology at Stanford University. Determined to break free from this financial stranglehold, he takes on a double life. During the week, he tirelessly pursues his education, striving to become a detective through the police academy.

But on weekends and during his spare moments, Marlowe becomes a homeless detective, solving puzzles and mysteries on the gritty streets of California. Living in a cardboard box the size of a refrigerator, he risks everything to chase down leads, solve cases, and inch closer to paying off his staggering debt, but after earning some money he decided to gamble in a poker game to double his money.
