Sam and the Junkman, A New Jersey Murder Mystery jam-packed with Italians, Hungarians, food, and MURDER.
After escaping from a toxic relationship and rural backwoods boredom, science fiction artist, Sam Dvorshak, runs back home to New Jersey and family. She immediately reunites with her long time pal Tony DeFranco, a cool and handsome Italian dude who buys and sells junk.
Their first time out together Tony takes her to his favorite dumpsite where they stumble upon a gruesome murder and plunge into an investigation that steers them to obnoxious suspects, hobos, big dogs, and Aunt Vilma. While getting no respect, Sam and Tony diligently forge ahead battling death threats, shadowy giants, and age bias to ultimately reveal the identity of the fiend who committed the heinous and grisly homicide.
