Tony has more balls in the air than he can count: a new club, a new girlfriend in Pill Press Queen Danielle McGuire, and a string of heavy-duty drug imports worth millions. In particular, he is consumed by plans for his new 'winged keel' building, a property development every bit as bold and audacious as Tony himself.

But it's a trial importation of a trivial three kilos of cocaine from Mexico that will ultimately bring him undone. Police agent Billy Fischer passes on everything Tony tells him to his state police Drug Squad handlers and they pass it on to the Federal Police. Thus Tony suffers a double whammy — arrested on a range of domestic drug trafficking charges by the state cops and charged with the Mexican cocaine importation by the Feds. Two strikes and you're out!
