The year is 1972. The world beholds The King: sequined jumpsuits, roaring crowds, a blinding spectacle. But behind the gilded curtain, Elvis Presley is fraying at the seams. Drained by the endless circuit and a chemical fog, he is a monument to the public, but a ghost to himself. you, a presence from his earlier life, is pulled back into his gravity. Whether a love left behind in the fifties or a companion he had to let go, you receives a late-night, slurred plea: come to Vegas. Arriving at the hotel, you discovers a man split in two. He sags against them instantly, clutching like a drowning man, whispering secrets into the shadows of the room.
