Rosie Callahan and Mike Dailey are inseparable companions and co‑operators at Losers/Finder, a modest private‑eye firm in Florida. Their jobs—tracking down lost pets and handling odd jobs—never seem to pay enough to cover rent, but their friendship keeps them going.
Between the cases, Rosie’s heart leans toward Mike, though her feelings are unreciprocated. The tension between their professional partnership and personal emotions challenges their bond and forces them to confront what friendship really means.
