Live Till I Die introduces August Nolan, a tough yet soft-spoken New Jersey ex-state cop turned PI who when not working a case is often found nursing a Jack Daniels at Amanda's, his favorite Hoboken watering hole. Nolan's latest assignment, which he's juggling with a couple of cheating spouse cases, is to investigate Hoboken's charismatic young mayor, suspected of graft in a lucrative construction contract scheme.

As Nolan digs in, he connects the mayor to a major smuggling operation and a suspicious car accident the night an attractive campaign worker went missing. The PI's persistence quickly draws the ire of a crime syndicate as well as from some in law enforcement, and trouble follows. A live-and-let-live attitude won't stop Nolan from unleashing his formidable fighting skills when a young protege and his family become targets.
