Mike McDermott is cunning, smart and able to read his opponent like a book. His motto, 'play the man, not the cards' has won and lost him a fortune in New York's illicit, underground clubs. But the stakes became too high and Mike decided his girlfriend and law school were more important. So he got out. Just. But somebody is about to throw a wild card Mike's way. His old poker partner Worm is fresh out of the slammer and itching to get back to the tables and insistent on taking Mike with him. Starring Matt Damon and Edward Norton.
