“No one stays at the top forever.”
CrimeDrama
In Las Vegas, two best friends--a casino executive and a Mafia enforcer--compete for a gambling empire and a fast-living, fast-loving socialite.
VIBE
This is a visceral, sprawling epic of ambition and excess, dripping with both opulent glamour and brutal consequences. It feels like a relentless descent into a neon-lit hell, where every lavish indulgence comes with a steep, bloody price. A dazzling, yet ultimately melancholic, ride through a world built on sand.
