  • The Gambler’s Tale: “Outstanding Debts,” Part 1 of 10
    Oct 26 2018

    Throughout history, there has always been a chasm between the bulk of humanity and the enigmatic circle who hold true dominion. Those whose influence remains shrouded, save for the rare instances when their designs cross into the outside world… and the real-world repercussions of their schemes can play out with dramatic results.

    April 2011. Las Vegas may have traded vultures of the mobster variety for those of the boardroom, but the criminal element still holds sway in certain circles. Into this world falls Jimmy Harmon, a down-on-his-luck poker player desperate to get himself out from under an unexpected debt.

    Rated AD-PG, so parental guidance is suggested

    Contains a character being tortured, multiple uses of “ass” and “bitch,” and — depending on who you ask — a really bad Australian accent. (I mean, we’ve heard far worse.)
