In 1929 Boston, a disgraced Harvard student teams up with a rough-edged sailor to hustle exotic contraband—only to find himself entangled in a deadly hunt for stolen Egyptian artifacts, where everything and everyone are not as they seem.

May 1929: Disgraced at Harvard and disowned by his father, Charlie Bohannon falls to the underworld’s fringe. Charlie, befriended by a former sailor Punchy, begins a business buying and selling smuggled items. Charlie discovers a statuette in a speakeasy bar, similar to one stolen from his dean, who says return it and graduate. Before Charlie can retrieve the artifact, it vanishes, and the man who took it is found murdered. The dean points the finger at Charlie, whose ironclad alibi doesn't deflect the pressure to find the statuette.

Through a series of misadventures, they become members of the Solomon mob. Solomon demands that Charlie find the missing statuette and its legendary counterpart, the jewel-encrusted King’s Collar. Charlie, Punchy, and bold Beacon Hill socialite Olivia search while dodging rivals for the Collar, one of whom gives Charlie a week or face death.

When Olivia and Punchy are kidnapped, and the King’s Collar is the ransom, Charlie’s time is running out. But finding the Collar is no guarantee that he—or his friends—will survive.
