“Human nature is a sucker bet.”

CrimeThrillerDrama

A psychiatrist comes to the aid of a compulsive gambler and is led by a smooth-talking grifter into the shadowy but compelling world of stings, scams, and con men.

VIBE

A sharp, dialogue-heavy neo-noir that pulls you into a world of intricate cons and moral ambiguity. It's a tense, unsettling game of cat and mouse where trust is a currency easily spent and never earned.
