Christian, an unemployed lawyer and former murder suspect, is finding it hard to find a job and feel as though he is really contributing to society in a meaningful way. Nonetheless, he makes an effort to go out for a nightly constitutional so that he can "remain engaged with the world" (or so he says).
At about the same time the City of St. John's is hit by a series of high-end robberies - senior cabinet ministers and businesspeople or their equivalents are being freed of their more valuable possessions.
Eventually, and not surprisingly, a reward is issued for the arrest of the culprit. Though Jake and Mal don't normally work for rewards (it is generally considered degrading in among the members of the PI fraternity) this one is big enough to entice them to take the case.
It is fortunate that the Doyles took the case as it doesn't take them long to discover that Christian is the criminal mastermind behind all of the robberies and that he has been giving all of his loot to a variety of charitable causes.
Jake and Mal are torn, they have to decide whether or not they will report Christian for stealing for modern-day plutes.
