And as if the terrible sense of loss weren't enough, a trio of ruthless cut-throats picks up the sweet scent of easy profit, bent on finding the lost cash first. As suave but enigmatic Peter dices with death to protect Regina before the situation spins out of control, little by little, a timid relationship forms; however, money corrupts. Now, fragile alliances and dangerous encounters spell trouble, and Regina can only count on herself to unravel the secret. But what are the chances of getting to the bottom of the mystery when trust falters?
