Description
Vegas 1967. The mob controls the town as casino executive Harry Lake finds himself at the center of a deadly battle between a psychotic gangster and the Mormon church for control of the Desert Inn hotel, jeopardizing his elaborate scheme to steal $500 million from Howard Hughes. As the casino war escalates and the bodies pile up, Harry manages to stay out of the line of fire with the help of a porno midget, a chip hustling showgirl and a crooked sheriff, then must safeguard his half billion-dollar swindle by keeping Hughes out of jail for stealing a hooker's prosthetic leg. Sex, blackmail and betrayal propel this fast-paced thriller through mind-blowing twists and turns, delivering Harry to a crossroads where for him to get something he wants even more than Hughes's money, he must kill the woman he loves.
