Three men. Three gambles. No good way out.
In Bullet in the Mud, a desperate father turns to violence in the hope of protecting his daughter-only to discover that pulling the trigger is the beginning, not the end.
In It Never Happened, an ordinary man is offered an extraordinary opportunity to erase his greatest mistake. But some choices cannot be undone without consequences.
And in Desperate Times-Desperate Measures, two small-time criminals stumble into a chance at a life-changing fortune, setting off a dangerously unpredictable struggle over money, loyalty, and survival.
Adapted by award-winning playwright Ron Simonian from three of his stage plays, The Gamble of Desperate Men brings together three darkly comic novellas about men pushed beyond reason-and the terrible, absurd, and unexpectedly human choices they make when they believe they have nothing left to lose.
