It is the early 1960s and vice is at an all-time high on the dangerous streets of Kansas City, Missouri. Alla Mae Briggs meets her match when a career criminal named Gordon Reynolds witnesses her skills as a masterful street hustler. Alla Mae and Gordon realize that they'll be facing great odds as an interracial couple against a predominantly white racist society. The competition steadily grows all around them. Rival criminals will eventually want a piece of their action. Racist cops are infuriated to learn that they've been running vice right up under their noses. In order to stay alive and to stay in business, Gordon turns to the reigning Kansas City vice lord to protect himself and Alla Mae. Based on the researched facts about Dewey Reynolds' real-life parents, Gordon Reynolds and Alla Mae Briggs learn that they have a lot more in common than just a life of crime. It was their love for one another which bridged the gap between the color of their skin.
