What is Bad Monkey about?
The series is based on a 2013 novel by Carl Hiaasen. The novel, primarily set in Florida, follows a former Miami police department detective Andrew Yancy, who's tasked to deliver a severed arm away from Monroe County by Sheriff Sonny Summers.
Yancy is employed as a health inspector after getting suspended from the force for assaulting the husband of his lover Bonnie, played by Michelle Monaghan. However, Bonnie isn't who she appears to be and hides a dark past.
Sheriff Summers doesn't want any disturbance or attention to the Florida Keys' trading, which might get affected by the high-profile case of the severed arm. Yancy, though, must keep the arm fresh and transport it to Dade County's jurisdiction.
Soon, he finds out that the arm belongs to Nicholas Stripling after his wife reports him missing. Yancy gets deeply entangled in the case after he begins to personally investigate the presumed accidental death of Nick.
