In a far-flung corner of America, three fugitives found Mahagonny—a city where anything goes, as long as you can pay. As newcomers flock in, including the idealistic lumberjack Jimmy, the city’s promise of endless pleasure soon turns sour. Money, morality, and mayhem collide as Mahagonny spirals into chaos. Will anyone escape the city’s grip, or is everyone doomed to fall with it? The answer is as unpredictable as Mahagonny itself.
