There are three players in the game:
A gambler
An ex-con
And an ice cold blonde
The bid is diamonds and the dealer is Death.

A fortune in diamonds has been missing for seven years, and only the man who stole them knows where they are hidden. Mike Farrell finds himself forced to pose as the thief as part of a desperate plot to find the gems. If he fails, he dies. When Mike tries to unravel the tangled threads of another man's life, he finds his own life jeopardized, by the women he can't fool, a cop he can't hate, and a corpse he can't hide.
