The story

What Is Double Whammy About?

The premise of Double Whammy without spoilers.

This off‑beat comedy follows detective Ray Pluto, a tabloid‑dubbed “loser cop” who seems to have every problem but a clue. His partner shows an odd attraction, two nosy screenwriters next door keep pestering him, a superintendent is stabbed by thugs hired by his rebellious daughter, and a pushy chiropractor threatens to be Ray’s downfall.
