Plot – Tom Welles is a specialist in what once was called private investigation. His job is far from being fascinating and adventurous. The man has a small office in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and leads a quiet life with his wife Amy and the little Cindy. He's estimated by his colleagues but he's still waiting for the great professional opportunity. Now he deals only with unfaithful wives and uninteresting minor cases, but a murder will upset his life and let him discover how the world around him is obscure and terrifying, from the Hollywood Boulevard sordid sidewalks to the New York squalid slaughterhouses neighborhood.
