Detective Ferrett is looking for one final payday to get him out of the city when beautiful dancer Gia offers him the perfect case: protect her from her husband. Ferrett takes the job and tails his new client to The Realm, her workplace, a shady nightclub run by mob boss Sal Capriatti. It doesn't take long for Ferrett to find himself sucked into orbit around the dark stars of the city, juggling Gia, famous entertainers the LaFontaine sisters, and a mysterious Black Rose in his effort to leave it all behind. Before it's all over, Ferrett will find himself confronting the shadowy corners of his own past—and possibly Sal Capriatti himself, the King of The Realm.
