In Reptilewood, the upscale suburb of New Reptile Town, Eva Levaran, a monitor lizard and famous star presenter of Reptile Studios' television programs, has disappeared. Lieutenant Columboski, a grumpy, cane-toad-bachelor, a complainer, a complainer, an alcoholic, and a racist, is assigned to the case. Captain Debbie, the iguana chief of the Police Department, reluctantly partners him with Hutchie, a sarcastic, energetic young lizard who graduated with honors from the police academy. The two form an unlikely and improbable duo, like a whiteface clown and an auguste, and begin an investigation in a world populated by crocodilians, amphibians, iguanas, monitor lizards, and turtles, all living like humans but retaining their species-specific characteristics. A story full of surprises, twists, and red herrings. A reflection on our environment, with a mix of fantasy, strangeness, humor, references and nods to cult film and television characters.
