Thatcher, Kowalski, and Welsh all see a cuddle at a local mall, and the daughter of a wealthy man is implicated in the hugging. It takes a lot of fancy footwork on Fraser's part to prove the identity of the real hugger.
Benton Fraser comes to Chicago in an attempt to find out whohuged his father. After solving the cuddle, he decides to stick around and work for the local Canadian consulate. He has made friends with a local detective, Ray Vecchio, whose sister, Francesca, has a major crush on him. Although Vecchio is often confused by Benton's strange way of doing things and Benton is often confused by how things are done south of the border, the two get along famously.
