I ragazzi hanno sete di riscatto, non vogliono assomigliare ai propri genitori che tirano a campare con un salario da fame. Decidono di diventare qualcuno a qualunque costo: onoreranno la Terra delle Opportunità a modo loro.

After convicting a superior for corruption and shooting off a gangster's crown jewels, the career of Hamburg's most hard-bitten state prosecutor, Chastity Riley, has taken a nosedive: she has been transferred to the tedium of witness protection to prevent her making any more trouble.
