Synopsis
This fast-paced, sexy drama follows the elite Las Vegas surveillance team charged with maintaining the security of one of "Sin City's" largest resorts and casinos.
James Caan stars as Big Ed Deline, the head of the surveillance team for the Montecito Resort & Casino.
With his protégé Danny McCoy, an ex-U.S. Marine and Las Vegas native, they deal with card-counting cheaters, costly streaks of random luck and rival casinos stealing their big-money players.
If the typical job-related pressures weren’t enough, Big Ed found Danny in bed with his only daughter, Delinda.
Rounding out this cast of high rollers is Danny McCoy’s longtime, savvy friend and director of special events, Mary Connell; the all-knowing valet Mike Cannon; sleek pit boss Nessa Holt a.k.a. "The Ice Queen"; and elusive former competitor Samantha "Sam" Jane.
