Atlantic City
“Where dreamers can be winners.”
CrimeDramaRomance
In a corrupt city, a small-time gangster and the estranged wife of a pot dealer find themselves thrown together in an escapade of love, money, drugs and danger.
VIBE
A hazy, sun-drenched melancholy permeates this tale of doomed romance and desperate ambition. It feels like a slow-motion tumble into a world of faded glamour, where every choice carries the weight of consequence and the air is thick with regret.
