Max Miller, a socially awkward, with a penchant for conspiracy theories and a mild obsession with true crime. Seeking a new adventure and a shot at redemption, he declares himself a private detective. His journey takes a wild turn when he rolls into a gritty small town known for its eccentric characters and shady dealings. There, he meets Riley Carter, a fierce bartender with a no-nonsense attitude, a troubled past, and an uncanny ability to read people. Dismissive of Max at first, she soon realizes his unorthodox methods and tech-savvy skills can complement her own streetwise instincts. As they stumble through bizarre scenarios reminiscent of Tarantino's witty dialogue and Coen Brothers' dark humor, Max and Riley tackle outlandish cases—from a missing pie recipe that turns into a turf war to a local wrestling match spiraling into a drug ring. Their style is as irreverent as it is resourceful, often involving absurd twists, unexpected violence, quirky town locals, and offbeat humor. Each episode presents a new town and a new crime, wrapped in violence and witticism, with the duo trading banter and unearthing complications. As they unravel the madness around them, they discover more about each other's pasts, navigating their own personal demons while cultivating an unexpected friendship filled with both hilarity and heart.
