Plot
Suzy, a mysterious Vietnamese woman, leaves her police officer husband, Robert, and her home in Oakland, California. She reappears in Las Vegas with a new husband, Sonny, a violent Vietnamese gambler and smuggler. When Suzy vanishes again, Sonny blackmails Robert into finding her and the search leads them through the glitz and sleaze of Las Vegas's underbelly.
