Bad Times At The El Royale

It’s January 1969. Richard Nixon has been inaugurated as the 37th president of the United States. A new decade beckons. And seven very different but equally lost souls converge on the El Royale, a once-glorious resort that has since fallen – like its visitors – into disrepute.

Situated on the border between California and Nevada, the El Royale offers warmth and sunshine to the west; hope and opportunity to the east. It also straddles the colliding worlds of past and present. Once the hotspot of Tahoe, where the country’s most famous celebrities and politicians comingled in and around the resort’s casino, bar, bungalows and pool, the good times have now come to a close. As has the El Royale.

Now, in the resort’s lobby where the shine has faded and the laughter fallen silent, gather Father Daniel Flynn, soul singer Darlene Sweet, traveling salesman Laramie Seymour Sullivan, hippie Emily Summerspring, her sister Rose, manager Miles Miller, and the enigmatic Billy Lee. Over the course of one fateful night, everyone will have a last shot at redemption…before everything goes to hell.
