A string of bizarre restaurant robberies leaves staff tied up like Sunday roast, Detectives Jared “Ballistic” Jackson and Jonathan “Sourdough” Manno stake out the Feedbag Restaurant to catch the elusive Tangler — a criminal with a flair for knots and perfect timing.

But when Dirty Deborah joins the operation with her case files (and questionable expertise in ropework), tensions rise faster than fryer grease. After Jared realizes the case mirrors Roofman (2025), the trio decide to “take a quick break” for research — only to return and find the Tangler’s struck again, leaving nothing but rope burns and an empty safe.

Now the Gumshoes must scramble to explain to their Captain why their big bust turned into a night at the movies. Is this the most tangled case yet… or just another knot they can’t untie?
