In Las Vegas, Molly and George Warburton lead an eccentric, though comfortable, life. She was once an actress; he used to be her lawyer. Now, as Sin City veers between ferocious heat and equally ferocious storms, the couple are facing up to their future.
Their daughter Gina - fiery, bored of her marriage, desperate for excitement - steers clear of her parents and their outlandish ways. That is, until she makes a shocking discovery: she will not inherit their millions.
Luke, Gina's college dropout son, lives in the rundown guesthouse in the grounds of Molly and George's mansion. By day, he writes a dark, disturbing thriller in secret. By night, he works the Strip as a club promoter and escapes into a dizzying, drug-fuelled, dance music fantasy.
Then Luke is pulled into a horrifying sequence of events. Targeted by a mercurial cult leader with a penchant for violence, he becomes ever more suspicious of his grandparents' new neighbour and the strange deliveries next door. As he flees the dangers of the Nevada desert for a long-awaited music festival, he is unaware that he - and his family - are about to put their lives on the line.
