In his prison cell, William learned the art of card counting - to perfection. Back in freedom, he travels from casino to casino. He bets low to avoid attracting attention, and he wins. In the process, he meets La Linda and Cirk. While La Linda wants to advance the stakes and increase the winnings, Cirk pursues a perfidious revenge plan targeting William´s former superior. Will William take his chance for redemption or will he let the ghosts of the past rest forever?
