Firing a guy is one thing. Beating him up is another. But kidnapping a man's dog? Ok, that's game on…
When depressed corporate worker Jason Axleby loses his career and his girlfriend, he tries something new - a job in garden maintenance. His new boss, Hayley Dubner, loves sticking her nose into other people's business, so when Jason finds a murder victim under the rose bushes, Hayley insists on a spot of snooping before they call the cops.
Before Jason knows what's happening, his dog has been kidnapped and the gardeners have both been forced into a violent underworld chase for the murder victim's fortune. This means finding the dead man's phone-which is easier said than done when every two-bit gangster in Melbourne is after it.
As the killer's deadline looms, Jason gets attacked in a train station toilet, jumps naked from a two story building in Bali and is almost buried alive by a giant pile of green waste. More importantly, he digs deep to unravel why he's been so miserable lately and what he needs to do to get his life-and his dog-back.
Primarily set around Melbourne, Australia, 'The Man in the Silver Suit' is part murder mystery, part bumbling crime caper, and part action-packed kidnapping thriller.
