On one of his first few days in the city, he encounters a beautiful woman in a red dress. She leaves him in awe but also empties his pockets. The enchantress is a Philadelphia riverfront siren. A pickpocket who uses her looks to distract men while she swipes whatever they have on their persons. Furious, Joseph is determined to retrieve his money and move on. But once he finds his siren, his intrigue grows. She is like no one he has ever met.
