Tiffany, Charlie and Vernon are con artists looking to up the ante from their typical scams. They figure a good way of doing this is taking down Dean "The Dean" Stevens, a well-known cardsharp, in a rigged game. However, they first need enough money to enter a game with Stevens, so they decide to strike a deal with fellow crook Larry Jennings to scam a local gangster -- which turns out to be a bad idea.

Forget the typical muscle-bound brawls for a tense, calculated chess match played with decks of cards and heavy deception. This heist-adjacent thriller prioritizes the psychological friction between con artists over mindless explosions.
