Once touted as the Queen of Resorts, Atlantic City quickly becomes the seedy Queen of Rackets. Saved from deterioration by the legalisation of gambling, the revived boom town does not please everyone. Lou, an aging smalltown hood who runs numbers, finds his livelihood threatened in this new Atlantic City. Lou's life changes abruptly when he unwittingly becomes involved with Dave, a young dope dealer, and his estranged wife, Sally. A beautiful young woman from the Prairies, Sally works at the casino oyster bar where she is also taking a rigorous course in Blackjack dealing. She dreams of escaping from her drab existence to the glamorous casinos of Monte Carlo. When Dave is killed, Lou and Sally are thrown together and find themselves in the middle of a real-life escapade with love, money, dope and danger.
