Duffy Dombrowski is not your average New York social worker. When he's not counseling sex addicts and drug users, you can find him crooning Elvis tunes, getting "Schlitzed" with his friends, or fighting ex-Olympians in the boxing ring.

When Walanda, a schizophrenic, crack-addicted prostitute, is murdered, Duffy pledges to take care of her basset hound, Allah-King, and find her missing stepdaughter, Shony. Can a not-so-social social worker who moonlights as an underdog boxer save the girl and solve the murder with just the help of a disobedient basset hound and four drunk friends?
