In the modern world magic is powerful but only works when no-one is looking. It's shy. It's also pedantic, confusing, and needlessly fussy. A group of middling independent magic security guards with no magical abilities and limited social skills discover magic might be less shy and more dangerous than anyone suspects. Their accidental success thwarting a magical crime draws the attention of mysterious and powerful forces that wildly overestimate them, making them unwitting players in a high stakes power play in which they are going to need more than their usual half-arsed lying to survive.
