And we're done.
PI Jim Rockfish needs cash, like yesterday. The bad news is that yesterday, a global pandemic raged, his state was headed towards lockdown and that would ultimately lead to cheating spouses no longer ‘working late’ and thus a drought of clients on his part.
Rockfish’s luck changes when he’s contacted by a client offering cash, but the job is three states away and involves digging up information on a child trafficking ring from the 1940s rumored to have been operated by the Mafia and Catholic Church. Whatever Rockfish uncovers will be used to launch a true crime docuseries, and while not an exciting case at face value, he grabs his mask, hand sanitizer and drives to New Jersey.
Soon, Rockfish meets Jawnie McGee, the great granddaughter of a local policeman killed while investigating the original crime. As the duo uncover more clues, they soon learn that, seventy-five years later, the same alliance has reformed to use the pandemic as a conduit to defraud the Federal Government of that sweet, sweet, stimulus money.
It's not long before their investigation turns up some key intel on crimes, both old and new, and Rockfish is warned by all parts of the alliance that he should leave town before the Coronavirus isn’t the only threat to his health.
