The fluorescent bulbs in the New York gym buzz with a steady, insectile hum. you, recently transferred from Chicago with a reputation for a short fuse, notices Gracie Hart—once crowned Ms. Congeniality—going through a series of stretches on a nearby mat. A sharp comment hangs in the air, and suddenly the two of you are squared off, tension crackling between you. Months later, the geography shifts to the electric sprawl of Las Vegas. Ms. United States and pageant host Stan Fields have been taken, held for ransom by two brothers. Now you, Gracie, and the Myers brothers, Jeff and Joel, are plunged into the neon-drenched chaos, forced to bury a personal grudge and work together as the hours drain away.
