Synopses & Reviews
Dan Abatangelo hits Vegas to test his luck and finds love instead: Shel Beaudry, a tomboy redhead with a wild streak. Dan’s no innocent himself; he captains a distribution ring for premium Thai marijuana. His credo: “No guns, no gangsters, it’s only money.” But the trade is changing. Set to make one last run and then get out for good, Dan is taken down by the DEA. To secure light time for Shel and his crew, he takes the fall.
After serving his full ten-year sentence, Dan emerges from prison with a hardened will, but an unchanged heart. He sets his focus on one thing: finding Shel. But she’s trapped, tied to Frank Maas, an underling in a backwater crime ring. Frank’s foolhardy plan to keep Shel for himself triggers a race-fueled turf war from which no one will escape unscathed.
