Meet Tommy Akhtar, cricket fan, devoted son to an ailing father and deadbeat private eye. He's got an office above a suburban cab firm, a taste for cigarettes and bourbon, and a finely tuned moral compass that he keeps hidden behind a sharp cynicism. When Tommy walks into his office one morning to find high-class prostitute Melody seeking his help, a seemingly straightforward missing-person case launches him into a dangerous world of religious fanaticism and political intrigue.
