The narrative follows Juanita Slusher, famously known as Candy Barr, a celebrated burlesque dancer in 1950s Vegas who captivated audiences with her dynamic performances. Her tumultuous journey began with a traumatic childhood marked by betrayal, leading her to a life of escape and exploitation. Candy's rise to fame brought her into the orbit of influential figures, but it also led to legal troubles and entanglements with significant historical events, including the investigation into President Kennedy's assassination.
