In October 1941, the violence of Baltimore's warring mob families is
escalating. The danger has decimated many of the businesses around
DuMochelle's restaurant where Barry waits tables.When a mob family begins to frequent the restaurant, a romantic relationship develops between Barry and Vinnie, a guard for the family. Vinnie resists, fearing for Barry's safety and concerned that Barry will want nothing to do with him if he finds out the details of Vinnie's role in the family.
But their passion cannot be denied, and Vinnie is trapped between the love he wants and the only life he's known. As the rival mob family moves in for the kill, Vinnie and Barry find themselves caught in the crossfire.
FBI Special Agent Aaron Pearce is recovering from his
injuries suffered while on assignment in Detroit, stuck in the offices of the
FBI running database searches for agents in the field. He is bored and edgy, and
takes it out on those closest to him, including Mark Beecher, who lives with
him.
While Mark cannot deny the heat between him and Pearce, he struggles to find his
place in Washington, DC, and in Pearce's apartment. When he notices a car
following him back and forth to work, he panics, certain it's the terrorist
mole Robert Morgan who escaped them in Detroit.
As Mark and Pearce try to
identify the driver, Pearce is drawn into an investigation concerning the
disappearance of data cards from government employees. His research reveals
that the catering company where Mark works may be at the root of the thefts
and, when the company is booked to cater a prestigious party, Pearce realizes it
is the perfect setup for an undercover operation. He doesn't think twice about
disobeying orders to stay out of the field, and risks not only his career, but his
life as well, to join Mark in an undercover operation that will change their
lives forever.
