On retainer to Pacific Casualty Insurance, Jeff investigates the purported death of photographer and owner of several camera shops Wheeler Carthwright two months ago by an apparent shark attack while he was doing some underwater photography. The body was never recovered, with the only person at the scene being Wheeler's assistant, Phillip Marsden. The insurance company is awaiting Jeff's report before paying the $200,000 value of his life insurance policy to Wheeler's widow, Diana Carthwright. In the investigation which he conducts with Roscoe and Kookie's help, Jeff begins to suspect that Wheeler may have staged his own death, and believes the answer to if that is the case being the brunette featured in many of his photographs, Diana only knowing her name being Pilar Sanchez. If Jeff's suspicions are correct, he may be walking into a firestorm in Wheeler wanting to protect the fact of he being dead, while others may also want to ensure that he is if he truly isn't.
