This documentary series uncovers the untold story of Elvis Presley’s extraordinary rise, fall, and resurrection - and the shadowy forces that shaped his career from behind the curtain. At the centre is a fateful gamble: Elvis’ seven-year residency in Las Vegas, a city built on vice, showbiz glitz, and deep ties to organized crime. But the Vegas move was not Elvis’ idea. It was orchestrated by his mysterious and manipulative manager, Colonel Tom Parker, a man with a secret past and hidden connections of his own.
By the late 1960s, Elvis Presley is fading, creatively stifled and trapped in bad movies. His manager, Colonel Tom Parker, plans a comeback in Las Vegas. In 1969, Elvis triumphs at the new International Hotel, but Parker's secret gambling debts and Mob connections tie him and Elvis to the city. Elvis becomes Vegas royalty but behind the scenes, he spirals into addiction, paranoia and decline.
