SYNOPSIS:

Inspired by a true story. A casino security guard, TONY RICCI, loves his job, dealing with gamblers, gangsters, addicts, psychos and internal politics. He proves he's got what it takes to handle any situation and is respected by everyone - except his overbearing wife, LAURA JONES, who finds it demeaning on her status. Their struggle is set against the backdrop of the sleazy nature of casino business.

After Tony successfully manages several incidents, he is promoted to Security Supervisor and Training Manager. He immerses, GEORGES THESSALONIKOS, into the Casino world explaining how everything works - all the codes, the Control Room, the Oscars, Sierras, Mikes, etc. and how the vault and the money train work.

Tony continues to move up through the ranks to the position of Security Manager. However, his wife Laura is adamant about obtaining financial rewards beyond the scope of Tony’s job. She attempts to undermine the love he has for his profession. She chips at his manhood in an attempt into luring him to work for her father and thereby receive the income and status she so desires. Tired of waiting for Tony to make the change, Laura cheats on him.
