A year after their previous adventure, the Freelance Police duo Sam, a level-headed dog detective, and Max, his manic rabbit-like partner, find their quiet routine shattered when their pet goldfish Mr. Spatula inexplicably turns evil, only to be destroyed by a giant robot dispatched by Santa Claus. Determined to get answers, the pair travel to the North Pole, where they find Santa acting violently and suspect something sinister has taken hold of him. So begins a sprawling series of bizarre cases that will hurl the two detectives beyond the bounds of time and space, from the frozen North to a remote island and beyond. Confronting demons, prophecies, and stranger threats still, Sam and Max follow one outlandish mystery after another wherever it leads.
