It's the first of December and it's been a while since private eye Nick Dante has had a case worth investigating. When a sound engineer asks Dante to prove his company didn't leak the new album by pop mega-star Maya Prada, Dante is reluctant to get involved. Dante doesn't like the case or his client Andrew Grey. Even though, to be fair, as a self-proclaimed aspiring curmudgeon, he isn't fond of most people. Dante's main priority in life is to find a quiet spot to finish his pint. However, his priorities change when he meets the beautiful and irreverent Ronnie an employee of Grey's. While trying to keep his eye on the case and off of Ronnie, Dante stumbles around London drawn into a world of multinational record labels, shady ex-military contractors, angry producers and several people from his past who don't want to wish him a Merry Christmas.
