A historical crime fiction about a young man who narrowly escapes the tensions of the Jim Crow South just to land in The Mississippi of the West, Las Vegas, Nevada. He's forced to learn his way around and how things work in his new hometown while crossing the lines of LOVE, LUST, and LA COSTRA NOSTRA. But Las Vegas in the 1950s is no promised land-it's a neon-lit pressure cooker where the dice are loaded, and the color of your skin can cost you your life. As he rises from the ashes of survival to become a key player in the city's Black underground, he finds himself caught between mob loyalty, forbidden love, and the weight of a community depending on him to rewrite the rules. In a world where every favor comes with a price, he'll have to gamble it all to make sure his name means something before the lights go out.
