A troupe of swimsuit models on a war bond tour take on the Florida mafia.

St. Petersburg, Florida, 1944. Thelma Miles can’t stomach injustice. Broke and orphaned near the close of WWII, the 18-year-old joins a troupe of touring swimsuit models hoping for a fresh start, only to discover she's stepped into the mafia's lair.

Kathleen Young, desperate to save her business and ailing husband, organizes the tour. But her single-minded focus blinds her to the dangers lurking beneath the surface.
