Daniel is a mainstay of the Miami personal fitness community, very proud of what he does but he has to work hard to make a living. Seeing a wealthy client of his, Victor Kershaw ([[{{Monk}} Tony Shalhoub]]), and knowing some of the underhanded tricks he pulled to gain his fortune, Daniel begins a plan to steal his money and brings in friend Paul to help him accomplish it. They end up ''way'' over their heads as Victor sends in a private investigator Ed Du Bois (Creator/EdHarris) and law enforcement starts cracking down.
