Daniel "Dice" Rivers learned those dark truths young
while surviving Detroit's gritty streets. His skill with cards and reading
people soon attracted the attention of powerful mobsters seeking to expand
their empire to the Vegas Strip during its 1970s heyday.
For Dice, running the luxurious Mirage Heights Casino
represented a chance to move up and secure a slice of Vegas decadence for
himself. With his childhood friend Vinnie Marino overseeing security, Dice
anticipates an easy path to success.
But Sin City's allure hides thorns. Mysterious hustler Isabella
"Izzy" Moretti catches Dice's eye and refuses to be tamed even by
marriage. Vinnie's volatile tendencies surface, causing tensions with Dice and
the Detroit bosses financing their glittering venture.
Soon Dice is embroiled in betrayals, violence, and vice as he
tries maintaining control over the Mirage Heights against long odds. But his
ambitions blind him to what matters most until he has lost it all.
Exiled and hunted by both mobsters and the law, Dice wanders
destitute and anonymous. His only path to survive is acknowledging the sins of
his past and making amends before time runs out. Redemption seems beyond reach
for those who have fallen so far.
Yet even in darkness, hope persists. This is the story of one
man's arduous road to absolution and hard-won peace. For some lost souls, home
remains waiting if they persevere. Las Vegas casts long shadows - but none are
so deep light cannot pierce them in the end.
