The series deals with the cases of former DEA agent Nick Slaughter (Stewart), who moves to the fictional town of Key Mariah in Florida and opens a detective agency with the help of tourist agent Sylvie Girard (Creator/CarolynDunn). Being the organized one, Sylvie becomes the secretary and manager of the agency whereas Nick focuses on the action part. When he isn't working, the pony-tailed detective can be found hanging out at the [[LocalHangout Tropical Heat Bar]], property of his best friend and ex-rock-star Ian Stewart. It happens to be located at the [[SunshineNoir island's paradise beach]] and is conveniently populated by [[{{Fanservice}} pretty girls in light clothing]]. In later episodes, the bar is owned by Spider Garvin, who also becomes a friend of Nick's.
