A mother and daughter attempt to conquer Las Vegas in this domestic
drama co-directed by
Brian J. De Palma and
Russ Brandt.
Emily (
Brittany Murphy) and
Reese Nicholson (
Karen Allen) moved to Las Vegas with the intention of fulfilling
Reese's dream of becoming a singer. However, their financial obligations force
Reese into becoming involved in the dark underbelly of Sin City. Further complicating matters is
Reese's alcoholism, which frequently forces
Emily to play a maternal role with her own mother.
Emily begins to realize that a fresh start is more complicated than she first thought, though reaching the goals that she and her mother had set for themselves are not entirely out of reach.
