Danny Ryan sits atop a Vegas fortune that once seemed impossible. The former dock worker turned Irish mob soldier now owns casinos and hotels as a billionaire businessman. He has wealth, a son he treasures, and a woman who might become something more. Then Danny makes one move too many. His attempt to purchase a prime hotel property for his ultimate resort project ignites a vicious conflict. Vegas power players, a vengeful FBI agent, and a rival casino owner with sinister ties all turn against him. The past Danny believed he had escaped claws its way back to the surface.
