Ace, is a smooth talking gambler who lives on the streets of North Las Vegas. He finds himself in a fight for his life when he becomes indebted to notorious loan shark Frank Valencia. It isn't until he meets Jason, a young man who grew up in poverty, but sheltered from the world, and who is determined to hit the streets himself to find money for his sick kid sister that Ace may have a shot at paying his debt. Not long after they meet, Ace discovers Jason has a natural affinity for the game of poker and reading other players and feels he can use this to his advantage. With Jason by his side, as well as Ace's friends and fellow poker players, Ace must find a way to stay in the game or cash out forever.
