Former Scotland Yard investigator James Reed returns -- this time to challenge a sleazy blackmail scheme that has led to his arrest for rape purportedly committed one stormy night in a neighbor's house on the Malibu beachfront. All Reed remembers of the night in question was the he had accidentally stumbled across his accuser, a pretty blonde, when she was rifling through a safe -- in the nude. Out on bail, Reed starts to track down the perpetrators of this puzzling frame-up and uncovers more than he bargained for when his investigation leads to a reclusive, alcoholic millionaire with significant Las Vegas interests. Shuttling between luxurious Nevada ranches, the brightly lit casinos of the Vegas strip, and the seamy venues of the southern California underworld, Reed patiently unravels a web of deceit and violence that inexorably leads him to a lethal confrontation in the desert.
