711 Ocean Drive

In the neon‑streaked sprawl of Los Angeles, a city of endless circuitry and whispered deals, a modest telephone repairman discovers that his technical gifts can illuminate far darker currents. Mal Granger is a quiet professional, accustomed to coaxing life back into broken lines, but when an opportunity arises to assist a local bookie in launching a sophisticated betting operation, his world tilts toward the underbelly of the city’s gambling empire. The film paints a landscape where sleek technology collides with gritty street economics, setting a tone that feels both methodical and electric.

The burgeoning operation quickly reveals the scale of an $8 billion syndicate, a sprawling network that thrives on secrecy and ambition. As Granger’s involvement deepens, he finds himself navigating a hierarchy that balances the lure of quick profit against the weight of unseen expectations. The atmosphere is saturated with a low‑key tension, the hum of telephone wires echoing the pulse of hidden wagers and the ever‑present threat of more powerful forces looming on the horizon.

Against this backdrop, the East‑Coast mob eyes the West’s burgeoning riches, sending representatives who demand a share of the lucrative flow. Their presence injects a cold, calculated pressure that forces Granger to weigh loyalty, ambition, and survival. The narrative’s mood is a careful blend of sleek, tech‑driven intrigue and the raw, sun‑baked grit of a city that never sleeps, suggesting that each decision could tip the balance between modest prosperity and dangerous overreach.

Through its stylish cinematography and tightly wound dialogue, the film invites viewers to wonder how far a man can climb when his only tools are skill, ingenuity, and a willingness to step into a world where every connection could be his undoing.
