WELCOME TO THE B-SIDE OF THE CITY OF ANGELS…

The year is 1981. The American Century is running on fumes, but the end isn't anywhere in sight. The cowboy is still America's most central symbol—and from movies, to music, to the President himself, it all hails from Southern California.

PALOMINO tells the story of ex-cop turned musician Eddie Lang. Eddie has big dreams, but dreams don’t pay the rent. So he reluctantly works as a private investigator to provide for his teenage daughter Lisette. 

Eddie and Lisette share an unbreakable bond and a dry sense of humor, but they’re haunted by a terrible loss and the looming shadow of an unsolved crime. The Langs are stuck— but just as their lives seem to be at a stalemate, a new murder case upends their world.

There are only two kinds of objects in this world. The ones that shine and the ones that don’t.

James Finnigan, master thief, only concerns himself with objects from the first category. Those objects don’t hide in plain sight. They hide in dark places.

When Finnigan loses his grifter gang’s entire fortune in a job gone wrong, he’s desperate to make amends. He stumbles on his chance to do so in the crypt of the Harker Foundation, where he finds a bar of pure silver and a notebook that tells of the Silver Dragon, an ancient, immeasurable treasure beyond imagination. It’s a tall tale, but also Finnigan’s only lead. To make up for what he’s lost, he formulates the heist of the millennium in search of the Silver Dragon. There’s just one catch: the famed treasure is said to be hidden in a castle full of vampires.
