It’s 1948 and there is an art heist at the Art Museum in New York City. But this heist is a little different as the robbers got into a car accident while fleeing and the artwork that was stolen got burnt up. However, it is believed that there is more to this story and that it may have been an inside job. The director of the Art Museum hires Rip Kirby, a former member of the special forces turned private detective to investigate. Rip alongside his butler Desmond, and his main squeeze Dorian, are on the case and they will leave no stone unturned. But this case turns out to be a lot more than what any of them bargained for.
