Series Brief

Overview

A detective turned restaurant inspector in Southern Florida is pulled into a world of greed and corruption after a tourist finds a severed arm while fishing. And yes, there's a monkey.

Why fans love it

Vince Vaughn plays a former detective turned restaurant inspector who finds himself back in the orbit of a murder investigation. The plot kicks off when a tourist unearths a severed arm, dragging the protagonist into a messy web of greed and local corruption that spans from Florida to the Bahamas.

The tone leans into the absurd through the inclusion of a monkey and a layer of cynical narration that frames the chaos. It functions as a classic crime story filtered through a humid, sarcastic lens. The narrative moves between a failing marriage, an adulterous affair, and the seedy reality of sun-drenched tourism. It is a slow, methodical unraveling of a crime where the environment is just as unhinged as the people involved.
