When a professional thief falls for an FBI agent, what could go wrong?
Joe Brody is exploring his options. Childhood friend Gio Caprisi’s network of illegal gambling dens provides a steady income not only for him, but for his shrewd grandma Gladys, who’s employed to spot cheaters. And occasional side jobs, like the heist at Club Rendezvous, have enabled him to put aside a nice nest egg for the future. But the shootout that ended the heist reminds him of the risks his employment holds of his ending up dead. Plus, the raid that led to the shootout introduced him to Special Agent Donna Zamora, whose life is dedicated to stopping careers like Gio’s. He’s intrigued by Donna's dedication, but it’s her sexy smile that hooks him in the end. And Donna knows that her relationship with Joe is a potential career killer, which is why he’s never entered her apartment through the front door. While Joe ponders a career change, Gio has an ask that would put him on the same side as his secret lover. Gio’s pals have noticed that some of their working girls have disappeared without a trace. Although their main concern is more loss of revenue than loss of life, Joe sees the chance to do the right thing, so he agrees to investigate on behalf of the mob. Meanwhile, Donna is tasked with busting up the human trafficking ring that’s taking a toll on New York’s sex workers. Watching Donna and Joe compete, unwittingly, to solve the same case brings a novel and zany twist to the old game of cops and robbers.
One wild ride.
