Doc starts case #1 by helping his ex (Shasta) prevent a plot by her current lover's (Mickey) wife (Sloane) and her lover to have Mickey abducted and committed to an insane asylum. In case #2, Doc helps a Black Guerilla Family member (Tariq) find a member of the Aryan Brotherhood (Glen) - who also happens to be one of Mickey's bodyguards - who he met in prison and owes him money. While visiting one of Mickey's real estate projects, Doc finds Jade in the only business there, a "massage parlor" that's actually a brothel and actually a money laundering front for a heroin cartel named Golden Fang. While searching for Glen there, he gets knocked unconscious and later awakens outside, laying next to Glen's dead body. He's then interrogated about Shasta, Mickey, and Glen by a detective (Bigfoot) only to be helped out by his unpaid attorney (Sauncho). Doc then starts case #3: helping a girl (Hope) find her assumed-dead husband (Coy) an ex-saxophonist who, after dabbling in Communism, is later found to be hiding undercover as a police informant + a member of a patriotic group Vigilant California and now in fear for his life wanting to return home. Meanwhile, Doc learns more about the Golden Fang from Sauncho, who also tells him that the FBI/DOJ wants to procure Mickey as a white, non-Italian (non-mafia) Vegas strip casino owner. Doc meets Glen's sister who informs him that Mickey was on a drug-induced guilt-trip looking to get rid of all of his money and that another of Mickey's bodyguards (Puck) - who was scheduled to be guarding Mickey the night Glen was killed but changed shifts last minute - was upset with Mickey giving away all of his money. She also tells him that Shasta was in love with Glen. Doc arrives home to find a postcard from Shasta waiting for him that reminisces about and old story where a Ouija board sent the 2 of them on a fruitless chase for dope; when Doc returns to this previous location, he finds a large building in the shape of a golden fang, labeled on the inside as Golden Fang Enterprises, a syndicate of dentists.

Nah, that all makes perfect sense. ...and that's only halfway through.
