Spoilers ahead
As Jefferson Blue and his wife, Jane, revel in the joys of parenthood, they find themselves caught in a web of conflicting desires. Their baby daughter, the light of their lives, brings both immense happiness and considerable stress—partly due to their disagreement over her name and partly because they straddle the line between wanting a normal family life and the exhilarating world of espionage. As they traverse the lively streets of New Orleans, they often thwart the antics of a pesky mugger known as Muerte, whose attempts to trouble them are consistently thwarted by the Blues’ sharp wits and resourcefulness.
