Welcome to the boardwalk of Atlantic City, where gamblers risk it all in a single toss under the glare of the bright casino lights. But private investigator Joe Moran knows what lurks in the darkness behind the glitter and glamor. A tough-as-nails ex-cop with a degree in philosophy, Joe is no stranger to Atlantic City's evils, and he works to help those who find themselves inadvertently caught up in the criminal aspects of life on the boardwalk. But when Joe takes on a new client, the stunningly beautiful wife of a murderous gangster, he finds himself facing far more than the usual corruption. Evil from his past resurfaces as a particularly vicious case comes back to haunt him. With his adversary threatening all that Joe holds dear, will he be able to hunt him down in time?
