Vanna’s background may be in organized crime, but all she ever wanted was to run her own luxury private entertainment club. When her enterprise doesn’t attract the clientele of her dreams, this kingpin’s progeny finds herself sucked back into an underworld of gamblers and crypto-scammers, would-be influencers, and big-time masterminds. After a hotshot hookup tips her to a bad bet, Vanna takes up with an international criminal consortium and accepts a job smuggling a crypto wallet from Little Dragon. With the help of her assistant, Vicki, and their nymphomaniac-cum-financial genius friend, April, Vanna pulls off a heist that ruffles a big boss’s feathers. It will take more than sweet talk to smooth things over with Jason Luv.
