SHORT SYNOPSIS: Jackie, a seasoned gangster, had a sketch artist career for Vegas police until severe gambling debt and divorce haunted him. Now he's pursuing targets who've incurred gambling debts beyond the point of no return. One gambler dies unexpectedly, and the other escapes. Jackie's boss, Big Slick, texts him a Rent-a-Man ad. This ad sparks a conniving plan to summon a stranger in place of the escaped mark as a patsy by luring him to the execution spot out in the desert before his boss would be any the wiser. Dillon, a mysterious tourist transplant in Vegas, had a past as a futures broker for the Chicago Mercantile Exchange until substantial debt day trading lost him a promotion and his job. As the Rent-a-Man, he's a fish out of water summoned to the Las Vegas desert to play a subtle cat-and-mouse game until an ultimate future-changing twist.
