When a shifty magician turns state's evidence against a Las Vegas underworld heavy, the high price placed on his head sparks a fevered race to rub the snitch out and collect a tidy paycheck in

action comedy.
Buddy "Aces" Israel (

Primo takes out a sizable contract on
Buddy that entices every two-bit thug, grizzled bounty hunter, deadly vixen, skilled assassin, and ladder-climbing Mafioso within a hundred-mile radius into taking a shot at the prize. Now holed up in his luxurious Lake Tahoe hideout with only two FBI agents (

Buddy is about to find out just how far this motley crew of killers is willing to go in order to take him out and hit the jackpot.
