Vince Luca a choisi de quitter New-York pour la Californie, où il doit intégrer une fac de cinéma. Il lui fallait surtout prendre un maximum de distance avec l'envahissant business de son père. L'année se présente sous les meilleurs auspices, dans une chambre d'étudiant avec vue panoramique sur la baie de Los Angeles, un co-locataire sympa, fils d'un sénateur très en vue, une carrière de cinéaste en perspective et Kendra, sa petite amie, qui l'a suivi. Une vie honnête et respectable semble enfin accessible. Mais, totalement accaparée par le tournage d'une comédie musicale, Kendra n'est en fait pas très présente. Difficile alors pour Vince de résister aux avances insistantes de Willow, une créature de rêve.Et bientôt débarquent dans l'ordre : Tommy, le frère de Vince, qui prétend vouloir se ranger des voitures, au moins pour quelque temps, les « oncles » du clan Luca en soi-disant virée touristique et enfin Anthony Luca en personne, le père. Bref, le parrain et tout le gratin de la Mafia new-yorkaise. Ellis Rank, le président du syndicat des ouvriers du bâtiment vient de se faire enlever, à la veille d'une nouvelle élection. Vince est persuadé que son père est en train de monter un nouveau coup. Le revirement de situation sera total et le lecteur découvrira, avec Vince, que le kidnappeur n'est pas celui qu'on pense !

The thirty kids who live there never lie—they know it’s a short leap from that to the awful problems of other, less fortunate places. Eli has never left Serenity . . . why would he ever want to?
