A professional poker player, Jack Daniel, gets in with the underworld when takes a wager proposed by Duffy, a mysterious gambler. With a view to protect his family and himself, Jack must outwit Duffy’s cunning brother Lewis and scheming wife May as each attempts to force him into murdering the opposite. Jack seeks the assistance of Paulie Trunks, a loan shark trying to collect on Jack’s poker debts, who will need to protect his investment.
“This movie is sort of a day-in-the-life type thing,” Eads said in an interview with maximotv. “It’s probably a span over a few days, and it’s with regards to a degenerate gambler that may be in love with danger. It’s roughly his albatross, he was born that way. It gets his adrenaline going.”
