Synopsis
Ben Sanderson, a Hollywood talent rep, loses his job because of his drinking. Despondent, he goes to Las Vegas to end his life in one final binge. But, on the Strip, his plans are interrupted when he meets Sera...a street-smart hooker. Ben and Sera's chance meeting becomes a respite on the road to oblivion as these two disenfranchised souls form a bond that is as mysterious as it is immutable.
