Kieran Finnegan, who still works there whenever she can, has become a criminal psychologist. Meanwhile, New York's Diamond District has been hit by a rash of thefts. No one's been killed, until now.

Thrown together by circumstance, drawn together by attraction, Kieran and Craig both end up working on the case. Unfortunately, there's more and more evidence that, somehow, the pub is involved. Because everyone goes to Finnegan's.
