Vinny Vidivici is a hard-boiled detective specializing in supernatural cases. His life is turned upside down when the Loch Ness Monster crashes through his ceiling seeking help to find her missing friend, Roy Mudson—a sentient mud monster from the Mississippi River. What begins as a simple missing person case snowballs into a high-stakes battle against greedy corporations intent on weaponizing cryptid essence, forcing Vinny to reluctantly embrace teamwork with a colorful cast including his sharp-witted journalist girlfriend Lola, Jerry the reformed raccoon crime lord, a catfish gambling kingpin, and a mysterious entity named Greg who can become anything. With witty dialogue, imaginative world-building, and heart beneath its muddy surface, this genre-bending tale blends noir detective fiction with supernatural hijinks as Vinny transitions from lone wolf to unlikely leader of the Cryptid Protection Alliance—all while maintaining his trademark fedora and perpetually exasperated demeanor.
