Synopsis
In a place like Sin City, savage thugs Marv and Dwight McCarthy can be heroes – inflicting rage and a thirst for violence on scumbags that prey upon the weak. While Marv spends the majority of his time at Kadie’s Club Pecos, watching over not-so-young anymore Nancy Callahan, Dwight has attempted to put his troubled past behind him – earning an “honest” living as a private investigator. However, when Dwight is reunited with his former lover, Ava Lord, he’s pulled into a violent new chapter – one that will reshape him both mentally and physically. Later, Marv begins to notice a change in Nancy, as the once mesmerizing stripper has turned scarred and withdrawn. Blaming the ruthless and corrupt Senator Roark for the death of Detective John Hartigan, Nancy plots her revenge – but she isn’t the only one looking to take down Roark. Johnny has his own score to settle.

In a place like Sin City, savage thugs Marv and Dwight McCarthy can be heroes – inflicting rage and a thirst for violence on scumbags that prey upon the weak. While Marv spends the majority of his time at Kadie’s Club Pecos, watching over not-so-young anymore Nancy Callahan, Dwight has attempted to put his troubled past behind him – earning an “honest” living as a private investigator. However, when Dwight is reunited with his former lover, Ava Lord, he’s pulled into a violent new chapter – one that will reshape him both mentally and physically. Later, Marv begins to notice a change in Nancy, as the once mesmerizing stripper has turned scarred and withdrawn. Blaming the ruthless and corrupt Senator Roark for the death of Detective John Hartigan, Nancy plots her revenge – but she isn’t the only one looking to take down Roark. Johnny has his own score to settle.
