It's the first case for Clint, probably the world's only narcoleptic detective, and everything should be going really well. To be brutal, it probably would be going a lot better if he'd managed to stay awake when he was briefed.
With four suspects and clues flying will he be able to find out who's guilty? Or even what they're guilty of?
