Ray "Elvis" Patterson (William Forsythe), an ex-con, joins forces with a sexy, high-priced call girl named Rita (Kari Wuhrer) to help clear his name from a murder charge 14 years earlier while a brutal gangster is after him for the location of some stolen money. Ray served 14 years at Nevada State Prison, after being wrongfully convicted of the murder of his girlfriend.
Now released, Ray sets out to find the true murderer and bring him to justice. Ray and Rita head into Las Vegas together, where Ray believes he will find the answers as to who the killer is. But all is not as it seems as Frank (Leo Rossi), Rita's boss, turns out to be the man Ray seeks.
