Lamar convinces Herb to fire up his PI license intended only for skip-tracing dead beat dads and credit criminals, and Herb reluctantly uses it to open up doors in search of more likely persons of interest to keep the police busy and off his back. In the process he twice escapes a brutal death, takes down the most unlikely psychopathic killer, and discovers a startling secret about himself.
