Tony Goldman is desperate to keep his construction business afloat. He needed money and turned to the "mob" as a last resort for help. They now control his life. He has to transport cocaine to Detroit as part of his "loan," resents what he has to do, and decides to steal some for himself. Now he's running from them.

Adding to his problems he learns Detroit "mob" boss, Carmine Rizzo, has come to Miami to make an example of him. Rizzo has to get the cocaine back before his boss kills him. Reputations must be maintained.
With the help of a Miami D.A. Dan creates a plan to bring Tony and Rizzo together so they can be stopped before Nancy is killed. So the cocaine can be kept off the streets and out-of-the-hands of the "mob." But plans can sometimes go very wrong.
Will Nancy get her divorce or will Tony kill her and get the cocaine back? Will Carmine kill both of them? Will the "mob" win in the end? She wonders, because of Dan's help, if this is a second chance for them or will he leave again?
