Samantha Belcher is a 22 year old who lives by the self-invented motto "smile while you can". She's broke, she's a hugger, she loves peanutbutter and she swears like a construction worker. Does that sound like a girl who grew up with all the upper-class privileges? Well, nevertheless she did. Until she decided to get engaged to the local pizza delivery-boy from Queens and get kicked out when she was 19. Oh, they broke up two weeks later, by the way. Now she's stuck with a horrible job at a coffeeshop, a ramshackle apartment in Bronx and a oh-so-nutritious diet of noodles. Smile while you can, eh? Suddenly, one single party changes everything. There she meets Niki Lewitt. The word 'HOT' impersonated, with that whole 'british gentleman'-thing going on. He's older, not Clooney-old, but older. He's mysterious, markedly powerful and full of secrets. No way he's an accountant, right? Then one day the truth comes crashing down. If you had the proof laid out, would you still believe that the man you're in love with is one of the most dangerous men in the world?
