Summary:
Michael is a man in his early twenties, and can read a person’s active thoughts. Now for most that is an extremely cool Talent. Problem is what makes you think that the person next to you is thinking about anything you care about. That is why Michael started learning the art of the con. Nonchalantly emphasizing a keyword, or setting up an elaborate con and now Michael can get exactly what he wants. Now if he only knew what he wanted. After all, he is young and always on the run.
Michael can do just about anything in life between his ability to Tune In to people’s active memories and his natural con artist abilities. Yet the purpose of his life still eludes him. He can’t help but wonder what his Talents mean for him and the human race. Amidst playing poker with Mob bosses, and running small cons on corporate idiots Michael is given a part in a long con. An opportunity of a lifetime in more ways than one way.
No one but family knows about his Talents. No one on his elusive crew even suspects. All they care about is finding and stealing a fortune in jewels. Jewels that were supposed to save a Jewish family from the Nazi’s but ended up sending them to their deaths. Now the jewels are being held at the Law Firm of Bishop, Adams, and Davenport. Michael runs point as an attorney. His Talents and smile keeping him safe.
Despite his clear objective Michael soon realizes life is full of cons, and loyalties can shift when lives and fortunes are on the line.
