Rosa is under investigation by the FBI and the SEC after after counterfeit securities are found at th Priory of St. Albertus Magnus, where she serves as treasurer. As malicious as her aunt is V.I. knows the older woman is not malicious as her aunt is, V.I.knows the older woman is not dishonest, so she agrees to take the case. But she doesn't realize how dishonest, so she agrees to take the case. But she doesn't realize how high the stakes are until she begins to sniff out a connection between Chicago's most powerful institutions; the Church and the mob. And when a menacing voice on the phone threatens to pour acid into her eyes if she doesn't butt out, V.I. starts to question which is stronger; her love of family...or life. | ||
