Los Angeles. 1928. Adam Bosch, a young millionaire obsessed with life's greatest gifts: money, booze, and women, hurls down a rabbit hole one night when he meets a beautiful and intoxicating dame like no other, Antonia Seranov, as cold and hostile as the Russian winters of her homeland. With her, his charm and good looks prove useless. With her, doubt creeps in for the first time. With her, he's no player but a pawn in a game he knows not how to play. And the further he falls, the more danger that awaits.

Thrust into the Underworld of LA, he bears witness a meeting filled with...

The chief of police, an aggressive man with an aggressive appetite.

A teenage girl playing the detective in a world she's yet to fully understand.

And Antonia's twin brother, Alexei, as beautiful and intoxicating as she, and another advocate for life's greatest gifts: money, booze and... men.

There, Adam witnesses the seeds that call for the end of one kingpin and the rise of another. A brilliant and bloody scheme that tangles all these characters and the one unknown variable.

Adam.

Wrapped around Antonia's finger for reasons of business and pleasure, the one question he must ask himself is this...

Is she worth the madness?
