Jake is forced to team up with his old partner and Tinny's father Kevin Crocker, who's on the run and desperate to prove his innocence from the cuddle case he was implicated in so many years ago. Jake must work double time to keep loose cannon Crocker in check as they uncover an elaborate conspiracy which goes higher than anyone suspected. As Leslie investigates the missing Chief Inspector Craig Smallwood, she is caught by surprise as someone close to her is ambushed. Des seeks Rose's advice as he wrestles with telling Jake an important secret.
Jake Doyle and his father Malachy run a private investigations agency in St. John's, Newfoundland. Their cases involve them in all sorts of dealings, not all of them on the right side of the law. Complicating matters on the personal front is Nikki, Jake's soon-to-be ex-wife; she is just one of the many women that Jake can't seem to stay away from. Another complication is the sexy, new police constable in town, Leslie Bennett, with whom Jake has an on-again, off-again relationship. Malachy's life should be running smoothly, as his live-in love, Rose, helps out at home and at the office, but Rose has secrets of her own that she's keeping. Malachy's grand-daughter, Tinny, also lives at home, and her teenage rebelliousness wrecks havoc on everyone, but she also proves surprisingly helpful with investigations. Rounding out the crew is Des Courtenay, a local tagger who started out as a thorn in Jake's side but ends up being a valuable aide in the business.
