Chicago's favorite son of a beach is back in action, baby! Bear Whitman is clean, he's sober, he's healing and he's as witty as ever. The world is a better place with him in it and this time, Bear is in Hollywood, CA as the story of his life is set to be released onto the silver screen. But there's only one problem, he's charged with a real murder before he can even get onto the movie set to play make believe! A vast array of new characters show up in interesting and unique ways. None more so than his new friend Lydia Easton and her dog (who's a very good boy) Jet.
