Joe Brink is a newly-minted PI who can barely make ends meet. He lives with his parents and struggles to pay for his threadbare office over a frozen yogurt shop and a bakery by getting the goods on disability insurance frauds and errant spouses. On a stakeout of a client's cheating wife, Joe stumbles across and rescues two small children, Sofia and Diego Ramirez, and apprehends their kidnapper. Joe's 15 minutes of fame leads to little new business but earns him the unhelpful moniker Accidental Hero. Silicon Valley venture capitalist Rex Baker is rich, famous, and detested by most who know him, including his family. Known as Mr. Perfect, he reigns like a king over his popular TV show, Venture Capital Pie. Baker is blown up in front of millions of VC Pie viewers during a product demonstration. The entrepreneur, David Novak, is arrested for what everyone calls the Perfect Murder. Anna Novak hires Joe Brink to prove her brother's innocence because she read he was cheap. As he starts work on the case, suspected drug lord Navarro Varga, brother of the kidnapper, threatens the lives of Joe and his parents unless Joe locates the missing mother of the Ramirez children for him. Joe teams up with a grizzled old explosives expert in a desperate effort to prove David Novak's innocence. Meanwhile, Varga's timeline is about to expire, along with, Joe is certain, his and his parents' lives.
