Synopsis
Las Vegas PD Detectives Elvis Ford (Sean Patrick Flanery) and Jesse Weir (Guy Torry) resigned from the force (actually, Elvis was kicked off) when their lieutenant wouldn't back them up on a bogus slot machine bust involving undercover FBI.
They are approached by Caesar's Palace owner Cameron Greene, who hires them on as troubleshooters (with the accent on "shooter") to help protect his interests and his customers.
The security force is headed by Ford, a cool Vegas native junk-food junkie who lives on a rundown sailboat, and dapper Weir, a volatile Philadelphia transplant with an acerbic wit.
