"What Could Possibly Go Wrong?"
1926 - Dan and Laure thought acquiring Napa/Sonoma wine and transporting it to Chicago would be difficult, but that part was easy compared to their new challenges. During a visit to Hollywood they meet motion picture stars including the infamous Louise Brooks, who sets up a prank causing intended and unintended consequences. Louise and Laure appear similar enough to be mistaken for cousins and Laure accepts a dancing role in the 1926 production of The Great Gatsby movie. Dan is made an offer to become a movie producer while a movie star is intent on becoming Laure's lover and Louise has designs to seduce Dan.
A powerful, ruthless and unknown enemy plots to kidnap Laure, but who is it, and why? Their private executive railroad car carrying wine and spirits is hijacked, recovered, and hijacked again. A 2,000 mile train chase causes Laure and Dan to scramble to stay a step ahead ends in Cherryvale. Who is the mysterious killer disguised as a messenger boy, and is he friend or foe?
Dan and Laure learn to use trickery and misdirection to con their enemies. A small circle of new friends with talents for mischief, distraction, diversion and mayhem helps Dan and Laure from losing everything, including their lives and each other.
That's what could possibly go wrong.
