Plots(1)
As a child, Abe Applebaum was a local celebrity as a "kid detective", solving minor mysteries and crimes for the residents of the town of Willowbrook. When he was 12, his close friend, Gracie, disappeared, and neither he nor the police were able to find her, leaving him traumatized. Now 32, Abe continues to operate his detective agency, despite the concern from his family and derision from his peers for his failure to "grow up". Depressed over his struggling business and the complete lack of respect he is given, he abuses alcohol and drugs to cope. An orphaned high school student named Caroline approaches him for help investigating the murder of her boyfriend. Despite never having investigated a murder case before, Abe sees this as a chance to prove himself and agrees to take the case. (Cinemax)
