After a severed human arm is found by some tourists out fishing, Yancy sees this as the perfect opportunity to get his police detective position back, but he didn't realize that he would have to contend with a world of greed and corruption that decimates the land and environment in both Florida and the Bahamas, a never ending procession of Florida oddballs, and one bad monkey.
