The film is about four young compulsive gamblers wasting their lives on booze, broads and bookies. There's David (Jason Priestly), the heavy-drinking ladies man, Mike (Kane Picoy), a degenerate gambler, Cory the Jersey Jinx (Peter Dobson), and Doug (Justin Jon Ross), the guy who tells every girl he loves her on the first date. When they find themselves in debt to a psychotic Christopher Walken obsessed hit man (Mars Callahan) they come up with a radical plan to get out of debt with a fixed game.
