She and her boyfriend Jack, a charismatic night club owner, plus the quick-witted ex-vaudevillian Uncle Sal, must navigate a world of money, influence, and quiet menace lurking beneath the grandstands.
As secrets surface and suspects multiply, the trio discover that betting on the wrong person could be far more dangerous than they imagined.
