In the San Francisco Bay Area, Michael McCant, a reformed bank robber, claims to have turned his life around, raking in millions by backing emerging rap artists.

Meanwhile, Mark Anderson, who runs a high-end wine storage business in Sausalito, faces accusations of theft when clients discover their wines have vanished.
