In small town Alpena, Arkansas, retired Army Chaplain Dexter Merriman (Chappy), just can't seem to get away from murder.

At the same time, Chappy discovers there could be a problem with poachers in the area when he rescues a stray dog from a steel trap. Aided by some crazy and likable characters including, of course, Baggins the cat, Chappy tries to sort things out without getting himself killed in the process.
