Famously Dead

Four friends from university, approaching their 40s. One dead celebrity. Three days in Las Vegas. One million pounds to spend. What could possibly go wrong?

Nevertheless, when Michael Jackson dies it signals the culmination of a game begun nearly two decades earlier and the friends must meet again, for the trip of a lifetime.

Seasoned poker players from their days in Cardiff, there can be only one destination: Las Vegas.

Secrets abound, with the break-up of relationships, the loss of jobs, bankruptcy, loan sharks and hitmen ensuring that this really is an unforgettable experience. The trip takes a serious turn for the worse when Piers goes missing and a ransom is demanded for his return.
