Looking for answers, private detective Sam Klein is called in to investigate. P dir=ltr align=justify>What appears to be nothing more than a deal-gone-bad quickly spirals out of control to threaten Sam’s own family. How can Sam prevent his loved ones from becoming enmeshed in a bootlegger turf war that’s bigger than even he can imagine?
