In Atherton Town, ten miles northwest of Manchester, Jacob Gibfield has been sacked in disgrace. With no chance of legitimate employment, he cashes in on his reputation for doing favours by going legit and opens up the town's first Private Investigations firm in an attempt to claw back a bit of respect. It's not long before his new choice of career, alongside folks out for revenge for a previous escapade, bring bigger problems than being laughed at in Market Street by the local priest. Things start to spiral and he needs all the help he can get from his old mates, including the likes of the Lieutenant and boxer on the skids The Hag Fold Hurricane, if he's going to keep the town from dragging him under.
