Jim Rockford tries to help his godson, son of Denis Becker, rise out of poverty and homelessness, but soon discovers the young man's problems are far more complicated than he imagined.

Laid-back private eye Jim Rockford and his brown Pontiac Firebird become embroiled in another case when he runs across an old flame, blind book editor Megan. Her no-good playboy cousin Patrick is involved with the Russian Mob, which puts everyone's life in danger. The weary Rockford must also deal with his old friend Angel, who is painting Jim's trailer to work off a debt.
