Synopsis

Chris Paciello seemed to have it all. With heartthrob good looks and an A-list roster of clients and friends, he was a South Beach businessman/playboy whose local fame was reaching new heights―until his "wise guy" past came crashing down upon him.

When some of Chris's former 'fellas were arrested, they ratted him out to the government. One case in particular―a botched robbery that turned deadly―was a time bomb that would blow the cushy new world Chris created for himself to bits...and propel him straight back to New York City to face justice.
