The year is 1871 and a government grant of $100,000 in bonds (the last payment for the building of the Central Pacific Railroad from San Francisco to Promontory) is about to be sent from Chicago to the Western Pacific offices in San Francisco, over 2000 miles of railroad away. Several Government freights have recently succumbed to the growing plague of railroad theft and the stakes of this shipment are simply too great to leave to chance. To that end, a Pinkerton agent has been brought in to oversee security. The details for this operation are top secret. The public is not even aware that the money is being sent, let alone how. But professional thief Cody Plummer has discovered the plans... and the prize is too sweet to resist.

Nick Stoppard is a struggling photographer who just can''t seem to make it in his chosen profession. He''s lousy behind the camera and not much of a businessman. His studio bleeds more money every day and his empty appointment book isn''t helping matters. One night, while trying to soften his harsh reality with some hard drinking, Nick spots her—Chantel, a Latina goddess with a bar tab better suited to a table full of sailors than a stunning beauty. Before Nick even has a chance to lay on his pathetic sob story, something strange happens. His buddies start talking him up. Before he knows it, he''s no longer a failing photog, but the hottest shutterbug in the five boroughs and the darling of the N.Y.C. fashion world.
