There's no place for dreams on the streets of Vegas

RomanceDramaCrime

A naive drifter runs away from his army father in hopes of making it on the car racing circuit. In Las Vegas, he meets a young scam artist, who develops a crush on him. He is then introduced to a whole gang led by a young hustler. The racer-to-be then gets a lesson in the wild side, getting involved in one situation after another.

VIBE

A raw, unflinching look at youthful desperation and the search for belonging on the fringes. It's a gritty, character-driven dive into a world of hustlers and dreams, where every connection is a gamble and survival is the only prize.
