The crimes will propel the unlikely duo into the shady world of illegal gambling, dog fighting and monkey kidnappings as they trace things back to a tragedy that took place 14 years ago – leaving 183 children dead. And given that the incident touched so many people’s lives, everyone is a suspect ...
