Danny Goodman's nightmare began with a quick handshake and a friendly smile... Danny Goodman's teenage daughter Abby is the light of his life. Her mother died last year, and Danny is desperate to keep everything as normal as possible. But the situation is bad. Danny can't afford the private school Abby adores, and he can't bear to tell his daughter he has failed her. By a stroke of brilliant luck, Danny meets Thomas Galvin, the father of his daughter's best friend and one of the richest men in Boston. But when Danny accepts a loan from him, the authorities turn up at his door. Now Danny has a choice. Face prison, or become part of a sting operation to bring down his new best friend - and one of the most dangerous men in the country.
