A grounded, gritty look at the world of money laundering in the vein of Elmore Leonard (Jackie Brown, Get Shorty), set against a classic, Chandler-esque detective yarn (The Big Sleep). Supremely talented and oozing charm, Jeff Sinclair is the premiere laundryman in San Francisco... and we’re not talkin’ wrinkled jeans and dirty gym socks. But when he is unwillingly pulled into a dangerous gig laundering $25 million in stolen casino skim money, Jeff is forced to truly consider his line of work and the evil he facilitates, searching (in vain?) for a way to not only clean the cash, but to clean himself as well.
