Description

Why does an underworld underling travel all the way to a Newfoundland orphanage to play Santa at the annual Christmas party? Why does Violet’s boyfriend suggest they hide her best friend in a freezer? What gives Eddie the right to turn Monroe’s hot, trendy gallery into a spa? Will Violet give up dirty dealing to become an aerobic instructor? Why does Tony think he killed Monroe when Eddie thinks she is still alive? Is Monroe dead or alive? On Edge tells all.
