When Dale Stokely receives his last chance or prison letter from the IRS, he decides to up the stakes in his regular Texas Hold ‘Em game.  For Dale, this is his only chance.

All of the regulars agree, it’s a chance for a big payday.  But not big enough for Dale, he invites a sixth, somebody he targets as an easy mark and somebody who has that kind of money.  Of course Dale thinks all the players have this kind of money, what he doesn’t know is what they all will do to keep theirs and win the pot.After the game starts, it takes a dark turn when Dale is faced with losing everything after going “all in.”  Dale takes it upon himself to remain in the game. After the tragedy, it is slowly revealed that everybody there is in the same boat as Dale, willing to do whatever it takes to walk out of there with the 1.5 million dollars at stake.
