He's washed up, burnt out, and unappreciated by younger cops clawing for his job. He'd been a good detective but methods change, times change. He's looking forward to a life of solitude, a good book, and staying indoors during the winter months. Unfortunately, his former boss has other plans. He's not even a week out of the job when she asks him to mentor rising star Meaghan Byatt-one of those upstart detectives-on her first case in the homicide department. The case is an odd one from the get-go, enough that Smeg decides, against his better judgment, to help. With a jobless stepson living at home who won't stop encouraging him to get with the times, and his growing fondness for Byatt making.
