Desperation, Temptation, Betrayal. And...Passion! It is 1988. The pressure builds within 40-year-old architect Lamont Handler. He racks his brain for a quick fix to his self-inflicted financial woes. Could his creativity be used for a one-time personal gain? Will he allow himself to step over the line? Why not apply his award-winning talent to score the half mil he needs to keep his career in one piece? Lamont's crafty eye spots a vulnerability during the design of the money vault within the new Freedom Trustco Bank building. Using his singular expertise, Lamont makes a subtle revision to the blueprints to create a hidden chink in the armored concrete crypt. His client is gullible, the builder a willing conspirator, the plan foolproof. The clock is ticking, the mission demands collaboration. The handsome hunk must assemble a team amenable to criminality, and fast. Lamont has no choice but to rely on his ability to read people, to assuage their concerns and finally turn them to a unified purpose. Identifying a corruptible person is a new and untested skill. Who, among his acquaintances, will embrace the necessary level of iniquity required? Just hours before the break-in, panic intrudes. Lamont's brilliant scheme is being hijacked by the very person crucial to his success. He has been seduced, duped and chillingly betrayed. His poor decision will likely put him in prison and end his promising career. Lamont may have overestimated his own ingenuity. Or maybe not. After all, he is an architect!
