Meet Annabelle Starkey: shrewd, sweet, and sexy. One day, by chance, she meets the charming but slightly mysterious and definitely magnetic Mickey Paxton at a book convention and decides it's time to live out one of those Cary Grant films and accept his invitation to fly to Las Vegas for a holiday. The script takes a surprise turn when they arrive in Sin City and danger knocks.
