This is true story with amazing poker insights from all the top players. Is high-stakes poker a metaphor for the American Dream? A bi-coastal couple, Susan and Tim, carry their independent film company and four-year-old son on an eight month ride through the world of tournament poker. Their goal is to win $125,000 to develop a feature film. Business and formerly romantic partners, Susan and Tim often disagree. Susan is a self-directed, high energy gambler who has won poker tournaments before. Tim is her sensible but anxious mate and often her unwanted conscience. Along the way, we get to meet the peculiar players from around the globe who populate the poker world and hear their thoughts on poker's connection to the American Dream. None are boring, and many have become superstars in their sport. While exploring themes of The American Dream, individualism, talent and freedom, this International Award Winning Documentary guides us through an offbeat world few of us will ever enter.
