Forced to work a job he hates by made-man Saffiote (played by Vincent Pastore of “The Sopranos’”), Jack finds
refuge with his best friend, Roy Ridell (“General Hospital’s” Tim Tucker), who is also the prime suspect in the
murder of his former associate, Wilkinson.
Meanwhile Roy’s wife Angela (“Taken’s” Holly Valance) has been encouraging Roy to give up on Vegas and
move them all to the Caribbean.

Roy’s adopted brother Damon (Chyna McCoy of “The Matrix” 1&2), just released from prison, has re-entered their
lives. Since Jack was the one who busted Damon, tensions are high. Despite the fact that this is the first time in
years these childhood friends have all been together, Jack and Damon are still weary of each other. There’s a
brief scuffle with Kyusovich (Russian hand combat champion Eduard Osipov) and his thugs, but Jack and Damon
work together to resolve the situation. They reluctantly toast to the gang being back together again.
Jack is assigned by the Captain (Jean Sulli) and Mayor (real life Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman of “Casino”)
to assist Mason White (G. Eric Miles), a detective on loan from LAPD. It turns out White investigated Roy in two
coincidental deaths several years prior.
During the course of their investigation, two more associates of Roy’s - Kyusovich and Chaise - meet with
seemingly random deaths. Evidence mounts against Roy, who had motive, but also alibis – or possibly Damon,
who has already re-entered the criminal underworld.

Jack’s personal life slowly infects his investigation. Roy’s secretary, Kim (Olivia Arellano), is infatuated with him.
Even with the assistance of her friend (played by Playmate and internet star Bobbi Billard), she can’t take a hint
that Jack won’t let himself get involved with anyone. The memory of his past love, an unnamed Blonde Woman
(PMOY Corinna Harney-Jones), constantly haunts him.
Since Roy’s alibis are solid, Jack and White conclude the only way for him to have been involved is if a
professional assassin, nicknamed the Blue Screen of Death, is as well.
Jack finds Damon sparring with MMA star Wanderlei Silva. Damon challenges Jack to one round in the ring for
the answers he’s looking for. Jack puts up a good fight, but can’t overpower Damon (All actors performed their
own fight scenes).
Jack and White follow Damon’s connections to a restaurateur in Tijuana named “El Corredor” (Reniet Ramirez),
who has been brokering the murders.

Everyone becomes a suspect. White uncovers evidence that Damon was never actually in jail, but in fact
overseas. Kysovich’s connections hint that the Russian mafia may be making a play on the city. But there is also
enough evidence to link Roy to the killings, so a warrant is issued.
Roy turns himself in. They realize that all their evidence on him is circumstantial, so they release him.
Finally, in a private confrontation with Jack, Roy admits that he put the Russians in touch with El Corredor over a
year ago, but nothing came of it, so he assumed they dropped it. They realize the prime suspect is actually
Quarrie, but when they find him, he had already slashed his own wrists.
Jack tells the Captain that he suspects his partner Mason of being the Blue Screen. While the evidence is
circumstantial, all the pieces do fit. The Captain tells him to keep it quiet until he can find some hard evidence.

Alone in their office, Jack pushes to keep the Blue Screen case open, but Mason refuses.
Jack confronts Damon, attending a Muay Thai tournament, asking why he faked going to prison and how he’s
involved with Roy’s bloodmoney. Damon can’t tell him about prison, but swears that he only got $10,000. Jack
realizes that Kim is the only one who actually knows where the other $50,000 went.
Roy drags Angela with him to follow Damon down to El Corredor’s restaurant in Tijuana to confront him in person.
Reveal: it was Angela who hired El Corredor for all the hits. She hires him for one last job with a cash payment
and a sealed envelope.
Roy gets Damon to admit that he was the one who introduced Angela to El Corredor. Roy confronts Angela about
the murders, and she admits she had the blackmailers killed so that she and Roy could be left alone. He accepts
her and agrees to move to the islands.

Jack goes in to confront El Corredor. It looks like El Corredor is reaching for a gun, but in fact hands Jack an
Angela’s envelopes of money and her new assignment – Jack is the Blue Screen.
A series of flashbacks show Jack committing all the murders.
He opens the assignment to reveal the target is El Corredor. Jack instantly shoots him. While El Corredor is
dying, Jack tells him about his first animal kill, and that he doesn’t like what he has to do, but he is fascinated by
it.
On his way back to America, Jack remembers his last day with the Blonde Woman, as the weight of what he’s
become lands on him.
Jack, Roy, Angela and Damon get together one last time and toast to the gang being back together again.

Cast Bios
In one of his first starring roles, Robert Scott Howard leads the cast as Jack Adamson,
a Las Vegas homicide detective caught in a world of impossible choices. Bobby caught
the attention of producers in the “Saw VI Prologue” short and several Nevada-based
indie projects. And although competition was tough, he proved himself the actor to bring
Jack to life.
Established as one of the all-time great character actors, legend Vincent Pastore costars in as Saffiote, the man behind the curtain. His half-century list of credits include
such milestones as “Goodfellas” “The Sopranos,” and “Carlito’s Way.”
Jack’s best friend and prime suspect, Roy, is played by Tim Tucker, who started acting at the age of 7 when he
sheepishly asked, “Please Sir, can I have some more” in the musical “Oliver.” Volleying between the stage and
screen ever since, Tim graduated from the State University of New York at Oneonta With a BA in Fine Arts and a
concentration in Performance. In addition to his traveling broadway career, his film and television credits include
“General Hospital,” “Happy Heights” and “Last Resort,” as well as his show “Vegas Now TV.”
Roy’s femme fatale wife, Angela, is played by Australian Holly Valance. Finding early success as a screen &
stage actress, singer and model, she quickly dominated international airwaves. Her screen credits include
“Taken” opposite Liam Neeson, “Neighbors” and “DOA: Dead or Alive.”
