By the book IRS agent Jim Prufrock receives a fax containing financial information from the Versailles Casino, with the name and phone number of a Silas Bodnick. He calls Mr. Bodnick to report the financial information's accidental release and the accounting error he can't help but notice. Bodnick threatens the agent to not contact him again, making the agent decide to pursue the matter and he takes off for Push, Nevada. A large amount of money is apparently stolen from the Versailles Casino.
Having witnessed Silas Bodnick's murder, Prufrock stays in Push, Nevada rather than return as he was requested. We discover only a million and change and a Bible were stolen from the casino vault. Jim reports the murder to the sheriff but gaming commission men in black show up to report Bodnick's death as suicide. Jim stumbles on another "suicide."
The sheriff arrests Jim for the murders. Just when things seem the bleakest someone mysteriously bails him out and he continues his investigation starting with Sloman, the sinister owner of the town's casino.
While his IRS friend, Grace, digs for more information back home, Jim finds a new possible ally, suffers from further traumatic flashbacks to his childhood, investigates the town's bank, and learns the horrible truth about Sloman's family.
Jim tries to warn the world that something is rotten in Push, Nevada before it's too late and investigates the men in black. Grace has a hearing. Mary wants the Bible. Depute Dawn wants her man. The title ···---··· is Morse code for S.O.S.
In this impromptu finale, everything suddenly works out perfectly for Jim, but it's all too good to be true. With the show's cancellation, a meta open ending was added, and the remaining 6 episodes were never aired.
