Synopsis

Just released after spending the last seven years in jail, Tommy (Donnie Montemarano) looks up his partner-in-crime Mick (Vinny Argiro), who takes him to a shabby room at the dilapitated hotel called the Golden Eagle (frequented by prostitutes, pimps and elderly folk) in a downbeat area of Los Angeles.

Mick hatches a plan for them to escape from their present situation and make a new life working in Las Vegas. But Tommy isn't convinced and gets mixed up with Amber, a prostitute (Natasha Lyonne), who has a vicious pimp called Rodan (Vinnie Jones) just looking for trouble. Events take a turn for the worst which threatens Mick's dream of a better life for himself and fellow ex-con Tommy.
