Real estate speculator Max Shapiro has been cleaning the mob's money for years, but when he finds out he's dying of cancer, his fear of wasting away with an IV in his arm makes him turn against the mob, hoping they'll send someone to kill him. But when Max finds out he won't be dying after all, it's too late to call off the mob's hitman. Max's only hope? A piano-playing ex-secret service agent named Cole Springer. Max's only problem? Springer doesn't like him.
