Plot

[edit]

Sandi Clark goes underground in Miami to search for her sister, Amanda Clark, who has gone missing after running away from home. Sandi gets a job in the strip club where her sister was last seen, and this brings her face-to-face with a local crime syndicate's leader. She discovers he was involved, but can't find any evidence. In the meantime, Sandi's father hires a group of mercenaries called The Librarians, Simon, Toshko and G-Man to find his missing daughter. With the help of his old friend, Irish, Simon runs into Sandi at the strip club and together they try to find Amanda. As Sandi and Simon get closer to the truth and each other, the danger and the heat will rise.
