Rob Wheeler, fresh out of the navy, travels to Amityville, Long Island, in 1950 in search of his deceased mother's untold story and the identity of his father. He finds a village on the Great South Bay with a secret history of the Prohibition years; fast boats and rum-runners trying to stay ahead of the Coast Guard. All the players that were part of an "accident" on the Bay are still there as Rob pieces together the story his mother would never tell him.

A Little Forgery Between Friends is a modern tale of some not-so-grand larceny in the worlds of a Pennsylvania antiques dealer and a New Jersey artist.
