Main characters
VICTOR TORCHIER
All his life he served in the investigative department of the City, and then, through some aggravating mistake, one day he lost everything – his career and his beloved one… Having found a consolation at the bottom of the bottle, the torchiere-detective, who remained on the margins of life, became a private detective. The cerebral worm helps him with simple tasks; Victor carries this worm around in a plastic bag filled with some muddy liquid. Victor realizes perfectly well that his skills will hardly be requested for search of unfaithful husbands and runaway brides, that is why he accepts the unexpected proposal from the rich family of irons without getting into details. In order to keep in check the misanthropic torchier with a pile of problems, the family of the missing one assigns their ex-bodyguard to him.
GUGO
First reaction of two-meter tall elderly trooper Gugo towards his partner dressed in a permanently wrinkled trench coat with a ton of rubbish in his pockets (to add to all this, he’s a worm!) is a genuine contempt, but, gradually, he starts to feel if not sympathy, then, at least, respect to him as a professional. A complicated bromance evolves after the partners realize that the family of the missing one is into a tricky game, in which they are entitled with a role of pawns, expendable material.
IRON DUKE
Many years after his disappearance, the missing prodigal son, iron Duke, is identified by accident on some muddy photo in social networks. At first, one of the richest families of the world, the Wislow irons clan, refuses to comment on these rumors, and then, initiates its own investigation. Duke, who always causes his relatives a lot of problems through his adventures, went off the radar at some moment and, after some standard period of time, was declared missing, and then – deceased. And Duke himself is quite comfortable with this situation. That is why he and his new patrons are exerting their best efforts in order to dismiss the investigation. Surprisingly, this is exactly what the family of the missing is trying to achieve, in fact – torchier Victor and Gugo’s investigation should quickly confirm the death of Duke (that is why the private detective with a bad reputation and a pile of debts was hired). But, it seems that something went wrong at some point…
PUSH BROOM JOCK
Another key character of our story is Push Broom Jock, a small-time crook from downtown. She used to render various shady services to Victor, but now she finds herself dragged into much more dangerous and unpredictable investigation. Jock falls in love with spectacular Gugo, and, although he does not respond the aspirations of some push broom in any way, she continues her seduction efforts. Even though the whole world is on the verge of global catastrophe which may be triggered by the crook’s “object de désir”.
