Door Mouse is a Stylish Neo-Noir Thriller about a woman named Mouse (Hayley Law) who is stuck, in a dead-end job, doing nothing with her life and going nowhere. She works at Mama’s Burlesque Club all night, where her boss Mama (Famke Janssen) encourages her to pursue her real passion of making comics. When a friend from work named Doe-Eyes goes missing and the cops do nothing about it, Mouse and her sidekick Ugly (Keith Powers) take it upon themselves to find out what happened to her. What they discover is that corruption runs deep, monsters are real, and that sometimes, justice is meant to be taken into your own hands.
