“BREATHTAKING SUSPENSE - THRILLS!”

CrimeDramaThriller

On the eve of the Chinese New Year, three strangers, Crystal Shackleford, married to a wealthy philanderer; Jerome Artbutny, an outwardly respectable judge; and Johnny West, a seedy sneak thief, make a pact before a small statue of the Chinese goddess of Destiny. The threesome agree to purchase a sweepstakes ticket and share whatever winnings might accrue.

VIBE

A smoky, morally ambiguous noir where desperate souls gamble on fate. The shadows deepen as New Year's Eve looms, promising a grim reckoning for a pact forged in desperation and greed.
