Plot Summary: In the world of high-stakes
poker, Huck Cheever (Eric Bana) is a blaster—a player who goes all out, all the
time. But in his personal relationships, Huck plays it tight, expertly avoiding
emotional commitments and long-term expectations. When Huck sets out to win the
main event of the 2003 World Series of Poker—and the affections of Billie Offer
(Drew Barrymore), a young singer from Bakersfield—there is one significant
obstacle in his path: his anger toward his father, L.C. Cheever (Robert Duvall),
the poker legend who abandoned Huck's mother years ago. As these two rivals
progress toward a final showdown at the poker table, Huck learns that to win in
the games of life and poker, he must try to play cards the way he has been
living his life and live his life the way he has been playing cards.
