Premise: An IRS agent investigates embezzlement at a casino in a desert town full of mysterious residents who keep warning him to leave. It's a bizarre suspense series whose biggest gimmick was an interactive component that allowed viewers to sift through clues and win money. Although the show itself, masterminded by Ben Affleck and one of his business partners, was fairly murky and canceled early, all of the clues were presented, and one viewer did collect a $1 million prize.
