Welcome to St. Louis, 1927, in a world inhabited by anthropomorphic cats, where Prohibition is in effect, jazz pulses through the city's veins, liquid gold flows through dark alleys, and alliances are as fragile as the bottles smuggled across the streets.
The war between the Lackadaisy gang and the Marigold gang is no longer what it seemed.
Behind the smoke and bottles of bootlegged liquor, a third force emerges from the shadows: an army of thorns commanded by the lethal elegance of a "gardener" who wants to uproot what remains of St. Louis' underworld.
On the Lackadaisy side, things couldn't be worse. The organization's leader, Mitzi May, balances on a tightrope between imminent bankruptcy and the emotional manipulation of the quarry magnate, Sedgewick Sable, a man too good for the world she inhabits. Meanwhile, the Calamity Trio falls apart: Rocky Rickaby suffers from a forbidden love that would cost him his life if discovered and fights with his own inner ghosts, Freckle McMurray carries the weight of having been killing mercilessly to protect his own, and Ivy Pepper finds herself torn between the double life of a college student and a gangster, vowing to keep secrets that could explode at any moment.
On the other side, at Marigold, Asa Sweet celebrates the discovery of the true villain, but the theoretical victory doesn't stop the empire from bleeding. Enid Sweet now holds a monumental secret: her greatest love is the chaotic violinist her father wants dead. And, in the shadows, Mordecai Heller carries out a silent investigation alongside a truth that could unite or definitively destroy the two gangs.
The stage is set, and truths will be told, masks will fall, and unlikely alliances will decide the fate of an entire city.
