Spoilers ahead

Early one morning, just outside the vibrant city of Las Vegas, Nevada, the notorious Chicago crime boss Tony Castellano employs a cunning disguise as a septic worker to execute a nefarious plan. Underneath the safe house where police have taken in the crucial witness, Luella “Lu” Delano, portrayed by Cathy Moriarty, and her husband, Michael (played by Michael DeLano), Castellano stealthily pumps gasoline. Despite the efforts of law enforcement, the house is caught in a devastating explosion that not only obliterates the structure but also leaves Michael engulfed in flames. However, in the chaos, Lu mysteriously vanishes, which drives District Attorney Thomas Hassrick into a furious frenzy, as he understands the importance of Lu’s testimony in the upcoming trial against the malicious Castellano.
