Three childhood friends; when they grow up, the poor boy is shut out from the possibility of romancing the girl because of class issues. He leaves town, learns to play pro-level poker, wins a fortune, then goes home to ruin his rival's life.
A slow-burn tale of ambition and resentment. The film feels lived-in, with a palpable sense of desperation and a brooding atmosphere. It's a gritty, character-driven drama about the corrosive nature of revenge.
