Gorgeous widow Karen diCilia just found out what it really means to be married to the mob.  Her mafia husband Frank left her millions and a Florida Gold Coast mansion.  He also left orders that she'd lose everything the day she slept with another man.  With his boys as enforcers, Karen was soon a lonely lady.  Then she meets Detroit's Cal Maguire, a sexy, street-smart ex-con with a scam to get Karen her money and freedom . . . or get them both killed.
