An all-encompassing parody of every police procedural ever written, DCI Jack Cloth - a maverick, heavy drinking loner who has thrown himself into his work following the mysterious death of his wife. The damaged, haunted Cloth is teamed with plucky no-nonsense sidekick DC Anne Oldman,

Together the pair investigate a series of increasingly grisy murders and find themselves on the trail of a devious killer. As you do, If you're a detective. The case leads Cloth and Oldman from leafy forests to sinister lock-up, from the luxury home of an arrogant TV chef to the cold dissection rooms of a vampish forensic pathologist.
