Reunited with her volatile younger sister Danika and a colourful collection of criminals, friends and old acquaintances, Clara finds herself surrounded by family rivalries, dangerous schemes and increasingly chaotic situations. Determined not to be dragged back into the family business, she soon discovers that escaping the Reynolds family is considerably easier said than done.
