Andy Burnett was a New York sportsbar-and-peanuts kind of toughguy when he is mysteriously ordered to relocate to the glitzy club scene of Miami’s South Beach. Burnett quickly cozies up to Chris Troiano, the impresario behind Liquid, South Beach’s hottest nightspot. Burnett’s uses his job working security at Liquid to springboard into Troiano’s trusted inner circle, but the deeper into Chris’s wealthy world of endless parties and beautiful women, the more Burnett’s loyalties and motivations are put to the test.
Handsome young Chris Troiano appears to have the world by a string. His sculpted body, ultra-connected partner Olivia Palacios, and their packed A-List nightspot have earned him the title “The King of South Beach.” Beneath the surface, Troiano has more trouble brewing than one man can handle, from Olivia’s spiraling cocaine use, to Miami P.D. Lieutenant Houlton’s shakedowns, to the increasing pressure of his hoodlum past and his present dealings with the infamous mobster known as “Allie Boy.” Troiano desperately needs the help of his capable new security man Andy Burnett, but how far can their growing trust go when bullets start to fly?
Olivia is the envy of every clubber in South Beach; not only is she young, beautiful, and rubbing more than shoulders with the most famous women and men in the world, but her partnership with best friend Chris Troiano promises a future of never-ending VIP treatment. Olivia repeatedly promises Chris that she’s got her drug use under control, but repeated coke-fuelled displays in public threaten her relationship with Chris and narrowly give the cops the excuse they need to shut Liquid down. How much of what Chris does behind the scenes does troubled siren Olivia really know about, and is it possible that Chris’s newest confidante Andy Burnett could come between them?
Enrique is a smooth, self- assured member of the Miami underworld.
Tough Miami cop Lieutenant Houlton has it out for Chris Troiano and makes no secret of it. He blames the rise of drug arrests in South Beach on the degenerate crowds that clubs like Trioano’s Liquid attract. Houlton’s constant surveillance of Troiano and Liquid leads to growing suspicion of Troiano’s right hand man Andy Burnett as a connection to the high-ranking Mafioso known as “Allie Boy.” Houlton discovers that he’s not the only one tracking Burnett when his investigation crosses paths with Jim Hawk’s Organized Crime Task Force: everything quickly becomes far more dangerous than he ever imagined.
