It’s a dog-eat-dog world at the infamous tabloid New York Mail, where brand new pet columnist F.X. Shepherd finds himself on the trail of a killer with a wicked sense of humour, who is hacking celebrities to death. When a famous TV foodie’s husband is slain, the only witness is Skippy, a bright Husky who adopts Shepherd, and the reluctant reporter inadvertently becomes a tabloid star.
Bodies and suspects accumulate as Shepherd runs afoul of cutthroat office politics and Ginny Mac, a sexy reporter for a competing newspaper – who will do anything for a story. In an attempt to stop the carnage, Shepherd teams up with Izzy Negron, a Homicide Squad detective with a bizarre interview style. When Shepherd is contacted by the Hacker, he realizes he may be next on the list.
