While trying to heist a casino in the Cambodian Jungle, Apollo Jones has a crippling panic attach, but he's no seasoned criminal, he's a filmmaker, and he's heisting the casino so he can turn the story into the first season of a preposterously ambitious TV show he hopes to sell to HBO or Netflix or some other global streaming powerhouse. Spoiler Alert: his panic attach stuffs up the heist. As punishment, his partners slice off his right pinky. But the TV show is all he has, so Apollo bandages his stump and heads off in search of stories that take him to the steaming streets of Saigon, the glittering hills above Hollywood, and all the way back to the dark damp Cambodian jungle, where he may or may not be forced to dig his own grave.
