A shockingly true tale of love gone sour and greed gone wild on the dark side of Las Vegas. Reckless casino executive Ted Binion had it all: money, power and a beautiful girlfriend, Sandy Murphy.

But when Ted's estranged sister, Becky, informs police she believes Ted was murdered, a closer investigation reveals Binion's death was no accident at all. "Sex & Lies In Sin City" is the gritty portrayal of the investigation and trial of Murphy and her ex-con boyfriend who attempted to steal Binion's fortune by any means necessary. The film captures the unbelievably dark and twisted crimes – and subsequent shock – that swept through Las Vegas as the truth about Binion's last days became disturbingly clear.
