what does "we hit the highlights, or more like the lowlights."mean? “Do you want to go in, talk to some of the neighbors?” “No point. The cops would have already. Suskind wouldn’t have come here other than to go through the apartment. Not only because he wouldn’t have a reason to meet Duncan here, but because this area would scare him. South Boston’s not his turf.” “It’s not yours either, whiskey baron.” “That’s my father, or my sister the baroness. Anyway, I’ve done some pro bono work out of Southie. Not my turf, no, but not uncharted ter-ritory. Well, I guess we hit the highlights, or more like the lowlights.”

The speaker is making a pun. "Highlights" means something prominent, with a positive connotation. "Lowlights" would seem to be the opposite, but it is not a word, though it sounds like "lowlife". Someone described as "lowlife" would be despicable or unsavory.
