Event Details

When a suicidal patient reveals that his gambling debt has him at the end of his rope, dedicated psychiatrist Margaret Ford (Lindsay Crouse) confronts Mike (Joe Mantegna), the con man who holds her patient’s markers. Duped into a high-stakes poker match, she becomes intoxicated by Mike’s mastery and quickly falls for him, turning a blind eye to the fact that he can’t be trusted. And before long she finds herself sparring in a mental poker match of the heart…with deadly consequences!
