With a child murderer to catch, rookie Detective Ryan Shale has no time to lose. What he NEEDS is an older, wiser detective to teach him how to become a top-notch investigator. What he GETS is a guitar-plucking, fortune-telling, pickpocketing psychic. Is Ryan's career ruined before it even gets started? Or has he just had the luckiest break any guy could wish for?

A deadly winter storm puts the local port into a lockdown. Jake is convinced that one of the container ships is carrying illicit cargo in the form of abducted children. Ryan attempts to investigate, but after the kind of freak accident that feels more like a warning to stay away, he's kept in hospital for overnight observation. Jake is alone, but he's not deterred. Certain that his instincts are correct, he grabs his trusty friend Marty and heads back to the docks intent on getting proof before the storm blows over and the stranded vessels are allowed to leave British waters.
