MELODY WINTERS is so done with running and hiding. Now that she knows who is sending one assassin after another to kill her, she's taking matters in her own hands. She has no idea why MR. GOLD of the Hebrew Mafia wants her dead, but she's determined to find out and plead her case. Armed with her deceased stepfather SAM GOLD's scrapbook, she hopes to convince the mob boss that they are family. She goes to the Big Apple to find him and realizes it's going to take longer than she thought. Staying in New York City is expensive, so she takes a job with the NATURE GIRLS, singing and dancing showgirls. After being mugged, they take her in to their apartment. She finds there's more to their story than she first thought and falls madly in love with them. MISS RUBY and LUCKY help her on her dangerous quest to navigate the various neighborhoods and subways and even backing her up when she finally finds MR. GOLD. But getting an appointment to see him proves difficult and she's forced to stay in New York indefinitely. She's invited to audition at a swanky restaurant in a high-rise office building and becomes an overnight sensation. Fending off men is a lifelong endeavor, but the man at the bar won't be denied. Little does she know he's deeply involved in her quest and she will have to pass through him to get her audience with MR. GOLD. But she has no way of knowing just how sinister this man is and the power he wields over her. The power of life and death.
