Nachdem Samson O’Brien aus dem Polizeidienst entlassen wurde, kehrt er in seinen Heimatort Bruncliffe zurück, um dort eine Detektivagentur zu gründen - äußerst argwöhnisch beäugt von den Dorfbewohnern, nicht zuletzt von Delilah Metcalfe! Diese hat eh schon alle Hände voll zu tun, ihre Dating-Agentur am Leben und ihren Hund Tolpuddle unter Kontrolle zu halten. Die Dinge nehmen eine überraschende Wendung, als Samson den angeblichen Selbstmord eines Einheimischen untersuchen soll und eine Spur ihn direkt zu Delilah führt. Die beiden streitbaren Nachbarn müssen sich notgedrungen zusammentun, um den wahren Mörder zu finden. Doch beides ist leichter gesagt als getan!
