Michael and Samantha Nicholas live a quiet, upscale life in Westport, Connecticut. Michael is the CEO of a New York City based financial services company. He and Samantha have one daughter.

Michael’s older brother, Alex Nicholas, and his wife Donna live a hectic life in Queens, NY. Alex owns one of the largest illegal bookmaking and loansharking operations on the East Coast. He has a son and two ex-wives.

When Alex is murdered at his favorite Queens restaurant, the lives of the Nicholas families are turned upside down. At Alex’s funeral—with his body lying just twenty feet away—Michael’s world is further upended when he receives a text from Alex.

From the streets of New York City to Paris, Saint-Tropez, Rome and Florence, Michael begins a world-wide journey to find his brother’s killer. Along the way he encounters a world he never knew—yet feared—as he realizes Alex may still be alive.

But where?
