He's hired by California Senator Nancy Goldstein after her chief of staff, Elsa Krieger, embezzles twelve million dollars from campaign funds. The case becomes complicated when Senator Goldstein's daughter, Tricia, is caught up with Russian mobsters connected to crime boss Chesnokov.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBolt's investigation reveals Elsa is involved with Chesnokov's organization and a mysterious woman named Zarina who operates from the shadows. As he tracks the stolen money through LA's criminal underworld, Bolt makes a critical mistake—he becomes romantically involved with Elsa, his primary target. This lapse in judgement nearly compromises his mission.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe investigation takes him from Malibu estates to the Kabbalah Centre in West Hollywood, from Russian mob territories to storage facilities in Van Nuys. Bolt employs surveillance equipment, GPS trackers, and the help of his associate Maggie, a stoner ex-cop with exceptional investigative skills.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe case culminates in a storage unit on Oxnard Street, where Bolt discovers the hidden cache of stolen funds.
