Official synopsis Publisher
During the mid-fifties, five young sailors, stationed at Pensacola, Fla. aboard the U.S.S. aircraft Carrier Saipan would carpool to their homes every weekend. They liked to call themselves The Fabulous Five’. Steve was the first to get home to Atlanta as the others continued on. One weekend, early on a Saturday, Steve’s friend Ira took him on a fishing trip into the wilderness outside Atlanta to a secret lake. They passed a mansion located near the lake that Ira informed Steve was really a casino. Steve couldn’t get the casino out of his head. As fate would have it, The Fabulous five sat on the beach the following Wednesday and the conversation turned to money and then to a perfect crime. Steve proclaimed to have an idea on the subject. A bet was made and what starts out as just a lark to win the bet turns into an adventure that would alter their lives forever.
