Private Investigator Dev Haskell gets a call from Tubby Gustafson. There's a car waiting for Dev just outside his office. If he doesn't want to take the ride, he'll have to drive himself to the Emergency room. Dev decides whatever he was involved in can wait and is driven to Tubby's mansion. Turns out Tubby wants any and all information on east coast mobster Alex Chillcot who's rumored to be moving into town. The more Dev uncovers, the worse Chillcot looks. Almost immediately, the bodies begin to pile up. In case that isn't bad enough, Dev's latest squeeze, Layla, works every year as a sexy elf at Santa's Workshop. There's only one problem: Santa turns out to be an obnoxious drunk who frightens children and tells them he won't come to their house. Dev gets more involved than he planned.
