Gene Handsome is an LA homicide detective who tries to make sense of his life as he solves crime. Handsome's knack for solving mysteries is matched only by his inability to make sense of his own problems.

LAPD Homicide Detective Gene Handsome walks over to welcome his new neighbors to the neighborhood with cookies forced on him by a flirting colleague, but he meets the nasty babysitter. The next morning his partner Fleur picks him up on the way to a crime scene, where he recognizes the severed head as the babysitter's. The rest of her body parts form the Star of David, and all have been left on a Hollywood front lawn. It instantly becomes a tourist attraction with a bus full of Japanese tourists taking photos. The first step in the investigation is to question the actor who lives there. The next step is to question his new neighbors, who had employed the sitter.—Scott Filtenborg
