Malachy and Jake Doyle, a father-and-son detective team, solves intriguing cases while mismanaging their own relationships. Set against the spectacular backdrop of St. John's, Newfoundland, the hit Canadian series finds the Doyles dealing with Mal's mortality, the not-so-funny world of stand-up comedy, a cold crime too close for comfort, and the usual laughs, fistfights, car chases, lager, and family skirmishes.
