Description
Michael and Samantha Nicholas live a quiet, upscale life in Westport, Connecticut. Michael is the very successful CEO of a New York City based financial services company. He and Samantha have one daughter.
Michael's older brother, Alex, and his wife, Donna, live a hectic life in Queens. 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 purporting to be from Alex.
From the streets of New York City to Paris, Saint-Tropez, Rome, and Florence, Michael begins a world-wide journey to find Alex's killer. As his search progresses, he becomes more and more immersed in his brother's world, a world he'd always feared.
Even as Michael begins to find answers, one question remains: Is Alex really dead?
