Meet Calvin Recker. He's a stay-at-home dad by day. And night. And naptime. But in between changing diapers and making lunches, he's the hardest-boiled private detective in the western suburbs of Chicago. His specialty is cheating spouses. His three rules for taking cases are: no murders, no cops, and no guns. Despite what Calvin Recker may think, he is not the cool dad. Meet Henry Newcombe. He's the cool, young, and impossibly handsome stepdad who just moved into the sleepy subdivision of Stable Bluff. When Calvin Recker is hired by Henry Newcombe's rich father-in-law to uncover his new son-in-law's mysterious past, he's forced to break his rules, and will need all the help he can get from his wife, Juliet, and his unreliable sidekick, Grover, to get out alive and solve the case by bedtime.
