Definition of a ‘Bad Beat’:

In poker, bad beat is a subjective term for a hand in which a player with what appear to be strong cards nevertheless loses.

​

Synopsis:

​

"Cards are war in disguise of a sport." 

​

When three interconnected men reunite following WWII, they are forced to face the wrath of each others resentment for trauma caused during the war. After a poker game that reunites two ex-comrades, they are forced confront their past in order to overcome their trauma... however, instead the men bury their wounds in greed, temporarily numbing the pain and causing great collateral damage. 

​

It begs the question, are these men inherently violent or are they a product of their very unfortunate experiences.
