High above Manhattan\, a greater crime is committed: Alkaitis'\;s billion-dollar business is really nothing more than a game of smoke and mirrors. When his scheme collapses\, it obliterates countless fortunes and devastates lives. Vincent\, who had been posing as Jonathan&rsquo\;s wife\, walks away into the night.
