Hailey Gordon needs money for tuition, so she counts cards at Boston's Encore casino. When security spots her, she grabs her winnings and runs. She ducks into an unlocked hotel room and finds a dead body. Nick Patterson, fresh out of prison, arrives at the same room for a job meeting. He discovers the murder victim and Hailey standing nearby. Meanwhile, history professor Adrian Jensen receives research from his rival Charles Walker, who dies that same night. Jensen almost deletes the file until one detail catches his attention. The three strangers realize they've stumbled onto something huge. Their discovery connects the Gardner Museum heist to a secret from the Revolutionary War. Someone will kill to keep this information buried, and Hailey, Nick, and Adrian must stay alive long enough to expose the truth.
