With interim Chief Trout (Anthony Michael Hall) gone, Lassiter (Timothy Omundson in a dual role) sets his sights on the job. Mayor Swagerty (John Kapelos), however, sees this as an opportunity for Lassiter to prove himself worthy by solving the murder of his uncle Archie Baxter (Omundson), an investigative reporter killed back in the 60s. Will Lassiter be able to solve the case thereby winning the job he’s dreamed of? More important, will it be worth it?
