Marco Sharpe is a poker player skilled in the art of deception. Maybe even an expert. Yet he's also an expert on regret. As Marco mulls over his life one sleepless night in a Los Angeles casino hotel, he keeps coming back to one fateful day in southern Florida, years earlier.
Back then, Marco was a humble pool server at the Delano, just a young man with visions of a better life. His boss, the darkly cunning Ivan Parker, gave him the opportunity for just that. He would help Ivan and a few others in a can't-miss chip-counterfeiting scheme. Looking back, Marco can pinpoint the exact moment his life changed forever-the very moment he agreed to get involved.
Ivan brings in the beautiful and seductive Teresa Reynolds and her poker-playing boyfriend Nate to help with the scheme. As events unfold, flashbacks and unconventional story structures reveal the secrets and obsessions Marco, Ivan, Teresa, and Nate are all desperate to hide deep within themselves-though a shocking twist in the scheme brings everything to the surface.
What may have started out a simple counterfeiting plan deepens into a dark psychological tale of theft, betrayal, and revenge.
