A naive gambler (D'Onofrio) on an uncanny winning streak attracts the attention of a calculating casino owner (Lindo), a sexy showgirl (DeMornay) and a trio of low life hustlers (led by Whaley), who each have their own greedy plans for the walking jackpot. But his luck may be sort-lived. When his ex-con brother (Madsen) shows up at his doorstep with a dead body, the naive "winner" is unwittingly thrust into a high-stakes game of murder in this offbeat, Pulp fiction-esque action-thriller.
