    Summary

    1922, NEW YORK CITY. Welcome to the offices of Marcus Kane, Private Eye, where the kind of cases the cops can't be bothered with always seem to wash up. When a wealthy knockout named Abigail Griffin walks through his door one day, pleading for help to find her missing daughter, Kane thinks it's an open-and-shut case of a spoiled rich kid going on the lam after a drunken night on the town. Then NYPD Lieutenant Bellamy Blake - Kane's inside man on the force - discovers that six other daughters of wealthy families from all over the country have vanished this year and suspects the cases may be connected. When Superintendent Jaha benches Bellamy for overreaching, he brings the evidence to Kane. With the help of Bellamy, his eavesdropping, lock-picking sister (and Kane's assistant) Octavia, her ex-mobster boyfriend Lincoln, a Brooklyn mechanic (and occasional getaway driver) named Raven, and the pair of wisecracking bootleggers who run the neighborhood speakeasy, Kane must take the law into his own hands to rescue the seven missing heiresses, as he finds himself falling for the mysterious femme fatale Abigail - who may not be all that she seems . . .
