The inspectors have quite an assignment: to help bring off the largest ship purchase in history, a deal of $200 million or more.

Rents at The Cove range from $185 for a one-bedroom apartment, to $525 for three bedrooms. On the outskirts of Los Angeles, the Penthouse apartments hover over the Pacific shore line, offer tenants a beach, a Gay Nineties-style billiard room...
