Spice: 1/5
More sharp and seductive in tone than romance-forward.
The vibe
They called them Crown Vic and Baby Blue.
Victoria Lucchese and Colette Wilson have been running the same pool hustle for years—driving from town to town, leaving overconfident men with empty wallets in their wake. The con is an art: Coco—magnetic and fearless—draws men in, convinces them to play, and sets the hook. Then Vic—precise, unstoppable—runs the table clean. They’re the closest thing to family either one has ever had… even if they don’t know each other’s real names.
But it’s the summer of 1974, and the world is tightening its grip. Nixon is on the brink of impeachment, the oil crisis is biting, prices are soaring, jobs are scarce—and Vic and Coco can feel the squeeze. Rumors are spreading about two women to watch out for, and they’re running out of places to hide and marks to hustle.
So they set a new plan in motion—one last score that could set them free… or cost them everything that binds them together. Set in a sun-and-shadows world of desert highways, seedy motels, and dive bars, The Last Days of Vic & Coco is a sharp, electric story about two women living by their wits, making their own rules, and traveling light—until the promises they’ve made start to sound like the kind only a hustler would believe.
