Mo and Birdie are back in their element, swimming against the tide.

Mo is seriously conflicted about life, love, family and religion. Without Birdie to guide him, Mo would simply be a rudderless canoe drifting aimlessly with the current.

After they're summoned to solve a brutal murder in Yidtown, Toronto's Jewish quarter, Mo realizes he knows the victim, Mendel Black. A class-A putz, now with a steak knife in his heart, he just happens to be married to Mo's soulmate, Miryam. Their first meeting in over 14 years will not be the happiest of reunions.

Navigating a maze of various suspects, incl. Miryam herself, it turns out that the victim was not an ideal husband, son, brother or businessman, and the duo needs to unravel the various schemes and angles he worked. But who wanted him dead, and can Mo & Birdie catch the killer in time?
