Beautiful things

As a child, Nina longed for a career as an artist in New York. But her dream eventually dissolved, and she and her boyfriend Lachlan began stealing from the golden youth of Los Angeles. She was in the best position to do so: because her mother was also a skilled con artist.

But when her mother's cancer returns, the otherwise prudent Nina must act quickly to raise money for expensive treatment. So he decides to go with Lachlan to Lake Tahoe to the Stonehaven estate, where the young heiress Vanessa lives, to carry out his old plan.
