PlotIn the world of crime and high stakes, Buddy "Aces" Israel, a Las Vegas magician turned mob informant, decides to turn state's evidence against his mafia cohorts. With a substantial bounty on his head, he retreats to a luxurious Lake Tahoe penthouse under FBI surveillance. The news of the bounty on Israel's life spreads like wildfire, attracting a crazy quilt of contract killers and bounty hunters eager to cash in on the prize. Their motivations vary, from cold hard cash to convoluted personal vendettas, and their methods range from sophisticated to manically unhinged.
The FBI, learning of the imminent threat to their key witness, dispatches two of their best agents to protect Israel until he can testify. As the assassins converge on the penthouse, the agents must navigate through an ever-tightening web of danger and betrayal. The situation escalates to a frenetic hunt, with each party vying for the upper hand in a deadly game. The hotel becomes a battleground of bullets and wits, with each killer showcasing their unique skill set, leading to a volatile and unpredictable standoff that spirals towards an explosive confrontation.
