An armed robbery goes bad. Wrong people are suspected. Can Jim Monaghan uncover the truth without losing his life?
It's 1964. Lyndon Johnson is president and the Civil Rights Act is signed into law.
Jim Monaghan's career is on the rise, but his personal life is in shambles. He's in love with a girl who is well above his station. At least, that's what her country club father thinks. He needs a story to prove his worth so that he can propose. This can't be it, though, can it?
It's supposed to be an open and shut case. Just an armed robbery in a bad part of town committed by bad men. But what if it's not?
What if the real perpetrator is someone who no one suspects? Only Jim Monaghan can get to the truth. But will he be able to escape with his life?
