Private Investigator Dev Haskell is visited by Melissa Carter, the daughter of a former friend. Both her parents were killed in a hit-and-run 'accident' a

few years earlier. She has strong doubts it was an accident and asks Dev to investigate. He grudgingly takes on the case, but the more he learns, the

more he's convinced Melissa is on to something. At the same time, Dev is summoned by local crime Lord Tubby Gustafson. Turns out Tubby would like

a favor, and 'No' is not an option. Dev takes on Tubby's nephew, Erik, as an apprentice and learns, to his surprise, that Erik is actually a pretty nice guy

and a very hard worker. That's good because the hit-and-run investigation quickly turns into an exploration of the darker side of a local property mogul,

and Dev and Erik are going to need all the help they can get.
