However, as years go by, a series of complex relationships threaten to derail his professional success. The volatile Nicky Santoro, his enforcer with an explosive temperament, Ginger, Ace's ex-hustler wife whose past continues to haunt them, and Lester Diamond, Ginger's con-artist ex-partner, all play a role in creating a web of trouble that endangers not only Ace's career but also his very existence. Furthermore, the corrupting influence of local politicians adds another layer to the unfolding drama, illustrating how the seemingly innocent world of entertainment and fortune can quickly unravel into a morass of danger and deceit.
