Newlywed Muriel’s cookie-cutter life in 1950s California is interrupted by the arrival of her mysterious brother-in-law, Julius. The encounter awakens a restlessness in each, sending him in pursuit of a handsome Las Vegas card cheat and her into a secret life of gambling and forbidden romance. The Hollywood Reporter called this handsomely-mounted historical saga “a ravishing queer epic…the kind of big, sweeping romantic drama that Hollywood just doesn’t make anymore.”
