The Golden Merra

It's the summer of 1928. Booze smuggler and pilot Wil Driscoll has reluctantly accepted an invitation from an old foe to attend a dog racing event in New Orleans. He's on the lam from his boss after losing his cargo in a plane crash and desperately needs to strike it big. Wil soon discovers that the hotel hosting the race lay in shambles and he has to share a room with Albert Crow, an eccentric but ambitious treasure hunter who hopes the weekend's race will finance his long sought-after expedition to Mexico. When the pair meets an old flame of Wil's and has a run-in with New Orleans' notorious Black Hand gang, the event they hoped would be their ticket to riches quickly becomes much more than a day at the races.
