From Wikipedia:
When California Highway Patrol officer and war veteran Paul Woodrugh (Taylor Kitsch) discovers a crime scene, it attracts (fictional) Vinci Police Department detective Ray Velcoro (Colin Farrell) and Ventura County Sheriff's Office CID Ani Bezzerides (Rachel McAdams) to the investigation. Also involved is Frank Semyon (Vince Vaughn), a career criminal and entrepreneur, who is married to Jordan (Kelly Reilly).

Patrick Clair is one of my biggest inspirations. Not just in motion graphics, but in all forms of creative output. His entire body of work is outstanding and grabs your interest from the get-go. My favorite piece from him would have to be the True Detective Season 1 Main Title, although this one is also up there.
I hope you guys enjoy and appreciate it as much as I do!
