After learning a long-held family secret, Major Tom Ryan (named for David Bowie's performance persona Major Tom) the son of a Hamptons housekeeper moves to Las Vegas, where he initially finds work as a handyman and has a brief romance with his boss' daughter. After losing his job and girlfriend on the same day, Tom accepts a job offer from Jordan, a stranger he meets out on the town. While Tom is hired to perform maintenance work, he grows increasingly immersed in Jordan's fast-moving Vegas world of youthful excess, easy temptation, and short-term rewards. Tom soon develops close bonds with the eclectic group of people who work for Jordan; as well as a budding romance with Sarah, the brash young woman living across the street.
While Tom's new world seems ideal for a young man seeking to lose himself in the present, emotional remnants of the painful past he left behind in New York start to emerge. Tom pushes even harder to forget, straining his new relationships and creating both internal and external pressures. In a dramatic series of third-act events, it becomes clear to all involved that Tom's unresolved issues make his presence subtly destructive and destabilizing.
