“But I guess to me, money and capitalism and business, it's kind of like the internet. It's not necessarily good or bad, but it can be used for good or bad and it's not something to ignore, it's something to own. And it's a very important thing that we need to steward and use for good.”

But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
