Gary Bismarck is not just your everyday washed-up 1980s pop star.
He is a washed-up 1980s pop star who also runs his own detective agency.
In their day, Gary's band Bizarre Avocado were mentioned in the same breath as Duran Duran, Visage and Flock of Seagulls.
They were as big as any New Romantic band - and on the 1980s revival circuit they still play to packed houses.
But something very bizzare is happening to the Bizarres.
The drummer in the band, Clifford, who also happens to be married to Gary's ex-wife, has gone missing.
Suddenly a whole string of people have vanished.
And Gary finds himself caught up in a series of seemingly random and gruesome murders.
Each homicide is linked to the next one,
And the target?
Bizarre Avacado.
But why?
As Gary delves deeper into his past, can he unlock the key to the mystery and figure out who is behind the murders before it is too late?
Or will the final 'Dead Beat' be the one that kills him?
