What happens?

Academy Award®-winner Matt Damon (GOOD WILL HUNTING, THE LEGEND OF BAGGER VANCE) and Edward Norton (THE PEOPLE VS. LARRY FLYNT, KEEPING THE FAITH) lead a critically acclaimed cast in this story of passion, risk, and the extreme price of friendship.

Dealt a painful lesson when he blows his hard-earned savings in a high-stakes, underground card club, master poker player Mike (Damon) thinks he's played his final hand when he gives up gambling for law school and a fresh start with his beautiful girlfriend (Gretchen Mol -- CRADLE WILL ROCK). But then, his best buddy (Norton) gets out of prison and in over his head with a ruthless Russian card shark (John Malkovich -- IN THE LINE OF FIRE, CON AIR).

From there, Mike's strong sense of loyalty and the irresistible lure of the game draw him back to the tables in a do-or-die bid to rescue his friend.

In this riveting motion picture also featuring John Turturro (THE TRUCE, O BROTHER, WHERE ARE THOU?) and Martin Landau (ED WOOD), Mike ultimately finds himself forced to wager his very future in a game he cannot afford to lose.
