Danny Haley's bookie operation is shut down, so he and his pals need money; when Danny meets Arthur Winant, a sucker from out of town, he decoys him into a series of poker games where eventually Winant loses $5000 that isn't his...then hangs himself. But it seems Winant had a shadowy, protective elder brother who believes in personal revenge. And each of the card players in turn feels a faceless doom inexorably closing in. Dark streets and sexy torch-singer Fran lend ambience.

“911”到底是基地组织恐怖分子所为，还是美国政府的密谋？戴安娜王妃的死真的是一个醉酒司机酿成的车祸？还是王室为了消除群众的非议痛下杀手？位于荒凉沙漠的51区到底有没有进行外星人活动研究？外星人是否就生活在我们身边？相信与否，这些阴谋论都不会消失。事件越严重，人们的猜测怀疑就越深。过于激进的理论，对未知事件事物的恐惧往往会引起流血冲突。所以这些理论的背后又有什么样的人类学心理学解释？对于这些看似异想天开的阴谋理论，我们又该采取什么样的态度？
