In a casino, you don't need luck if you know how to cheat.
Goodbook, the big Aussie and Cliff Door, the suave American, they know how.
An experienced roulette 'crew', they are stealing from casinos across Europe on their way to Malta to hit a new casino due to open in Mdina, the Silent City.
Douglas Browning is a journeyman casino manager with worldwide experience working at the Oceanic, a mega-casino in Atlantic City.
The Oceanic's new owner, billionaire entrepreneur Philip Meadows, asks Browning to take over the new Malta casino as a favour to the local owner, Joe Grima, who is involved in a property development with Meadows.
Browning goes to London to put together a management team for the new casino, before flying out to Malta to review the project.
Goodbook and Door also arrive to prepare for the opening of the new casino.
All three men find themselves in romantic liaisons with demanding women, yet two need to face up to stark reality when their false identities are uncovered.
As the delayed gala opening approaches, another crew turns up to 'take' the new casino, a sinister development that finally brings them all together with electrifying impact - in the Silent City.
