A high-stakes drama set in the world of gambling, where a clever but morally conflicted roulette player, Alex Joski, joins forces with a desperate woman battling debt. As they pursue an “unfailing system” to beat the casino, their alliance is tested by jealousy, mistrust, and the reappearance of the woman’s troublesome former lover.
