Ace in the Hole

Legendary gambler Henry loses everything when his nemesis, Lip, frames him for a crime and murders his brother. Forced into exile, Henry is reborn as “Carl”, a seemingly harmless janitor at a Chicago speakeasy, hiding in plain sight and plotting his return. His fragile new life shatters when Lip reemerges, now backed by the city’s most ruthless mafia. Dragged back into the high-stakes world he fled, Carl must step out of the shadows. This time, he’s not playing for money, but for blood and vengeance, in the ultimate gamble of his life.
