Night Work

A mild-mannered accountant secretly moonlights as a detective to solve a series of jewel thefts plaguing the city. He must balance his professional duties with his clandestine crime-fighting activities, all while trying to maintain his unsuspecting family life. The plot thickens as the thefts become more daring, and the accountant finds himself in increasingly perilous situations.
