Résumé :
George Sisco's still not convinced a life without crime is all it's cracked up to be...

As part of the Massachusetts inmate re-entry program, Dr. Amy Marlow is tasked with getting him back on the right track after another stint behind bars. But George has something else on his mind...

When his ex-brother-in-law Louie tries to persuade him to get in on some action, George is hesitant to put his trust in another one of Louie's screwball schemes. But if they can pull it off, this time the payout could be big. And the money could be all George needs to finally break free.
