“A tense, tough drama of underworld violence and revenge !”

DramaThrillerCrime

War hero Danny Haley fleeces out-of-town dupes in a rigged poker game. He and his pals see Arthur Winant as an easy mark, but they've reckoned without Winant's homicidal brother, who wants revenge after Arthur commits suicide.

VIBE

A smoky, rain-slicked descent into moral ambiguity. Every shadow hides a threat, every smile a lie. This is the classic noir experience, where fate is a rigged game and the house always wins.
