Valerie Evering

Set in Harlem in 1919, two girls - one white, one black - form a lifelong friendship through a chance encounter and the jazztime music of young "Fats" Waller.

Arthur and Monique are small-time criminals, pulling jobs with Monique's daughter, Maria in tow. Max is a security guard in a loveless marriage. When their paths collide it seems that revenge is the only option.
