Synopsis

When ex-cop turned ex-con Ray Mercer (Peter Weller) gets dragged to Las Vegas for a quickie divorce, things are looking bleak. But then he wins $450,000 at the casino owned by black-hearted Charles Atlas (Dennis Hopper). Looks can be deceiving, however, and Ray soon finds himself being hunted down, wrongly accused of plotting a grand casino heist. Now, the only way he can clear his name is to find the real thieves in this action thriller.
