Jimmy Spain was one of the luckiest guys in professional pokeruntil he landed in
prison. There, his wealthy cellmate made him a deal he couldn't refuse: mentor his
only child in the game of Texas Hold'em, and he'll set Jimmy up in a condo with ten
grand a month and an all-expenses-paid poker tour. Done deal. Now Jimmy's back
on the circuit and in charge of a cocky girl named Kat.

As the unlikely pair battle their way to the World Poker Tour Championship in Las
Vegas, it seems like nothing can stop them from cashing in. Then a fellow player is
found dead with a three-card "Picasso Flop" in his shirt pocket, casting suspicion
on the new Hold'em whiz kid, Kat. Amid building pressure to win the tournament, it
falls to Jimmy to prove her innocence.
