On the edge of the Mojave, where state lines blur and ambition once built something from desert dust, the town of Primm, Nevada finds itself at a crossroads familiar to many places that rose on a single industry's promise. The family whose name the town carries has returned, wagering not on cards or dice but on the rarer proposition that a place can be rebuilt by those who remember what it once was. It is a story as old as decline itself — the question of whether roots run deep enough to hold when the ground has shifted beneath them.
