And from there, things go downhillthey're broke, homeless, and wander the streets with no way to get out of town. Bickering every step of the way, they cross paths with eccentric and colorful characters inhabiting the shadows of Las Vegas casinos, strip clubs, and downtown streets. John and Ludo don't quite know who is who and what is what as they desperately try to keep one step ahead of their pursuers and fulfill one very simple dreamget the hell out of Vegas.
