Chase Barnes, becoming further emotionally unhinged after learning of his wife's unexpected pregnancy, impulsively ventures to Atlantic City for a weekend getaway. Rather than rediscovery, Chase discovers a world of manipulation, corruption, and intimidation when voluntarily coming to the aid of an up and coming poker player who has been sucked into the evil world of gambling.
Dakota Martin, a local card shark, unknowingly and acting out of good faith, finds himself caught between a loan shark and the mafia after debts are left unpaid. Dakota struggles to find a solution to his own problems and reluctantly turns to Chase Barnes for help.
The more Chase attempts to fend off his own demons, the more he finds himself fending off hitman and hired guns working under the guise of Nestor Marconi, one of the country's top-and most corrupt-crime bosses. Rather than return to his wife's side, Chase runs further towards the gunfire and has to figure out how to, not only get Dakota Martin out from under Nestor Marconi's thumb but how to get them both out alive.
