The city of New York is filled up to its eyeholes in criminals and maniacs on every street corner. Luckily, there's two on the job 'Freelance Police' officers that can take care of it. Sam and Max, a dog and a rabbit, partners in crime, and absolute maniacs. Loose morals, comedic action and mania, there's nothing these two lifelong friends can't do. But when a greater threat then even THEY can't handle winds up on their doorstep, their friendship will be put to the test.
