Sandy Werner's longtime client walks into Desert Trust Bank, clearly down on her luck. Sandy is shocked to find Mary Holbrook's once-hefty account is down to less than $200. Mary worked alongside her husband for years to build a successful business, but when she wasn't looking, all their money vanished and Clint found himself a cute new wife. Abandoned, Mary might be homeless but she certainly isn't helpless. She teams up with Sandy and her friends who call themselves the Heist Ladies. It's their mission to see justice done, and Clint Holbrook is the perfect guy to do it to. The ladies discover a huge shell game and track the deceitful ex to the other side of the world, determined to win back Mary's financial security as well as her self-esteem. But Clint Holbrook has even more ominous problems involving Chinese mobsters, and he's willing to take drastic measures to avoid being caught. Will the women catch up with him, or will his deadlier foes get him first?
