The citizens of Clayton City have a problem. From beneath their beds, from deep in the corners of their darkest closets, things are stirring.

Monstrous things.

In the twin cities of Clayton and Callahan, Alex Cheradon and Devon Christian are two somewhat famous-ish private investigators. They've saved the twin cities a couple of times, stopped a werewolf apocalypse or two and are the best of friends, despite that short period of time when Devon went crazy and tried to kill Alex. But it's all water under the proverbial bridge now.

Times are tough and cheating spouses and missing kids don't always pay the bills. Of course, thanks to a mysterious, mystical gem embedded in his chest, Devon can go weeks, sometimes even months without eating. Unfortunately for Alex, though, all he has is a sharp wit and an awesome collection of hilariously ironic T-Rex t-shirts, neither of which do much to satisfy the grumbling in his stomach.

When Judy Brathweight darkens their doorstep with concerns about what's making some hungry noises under her child's bed, Alex and Devon are in no position to turn her away.

Monster hunting may not be their specialty, but at least it'll put food on the table.

Unless, of course, Alex and Devon end up as food on someone else's table first.
