A
tale of morality and ethics: "How far would you go if you thought you could get
away with it?" On the night he is planning on asking his
girlfriend to marry him, Adam Tepper, a struggling street artist, stumbles upon
the kind of fortune that could change his life forever. He finds a wallet and
discovers it contains a winning lottery ticket worth $6.0 million. His first
instinct is to return the wallet, but after unsuccessfully trying to track down
the owner, Avery Phillips, Tepper decides that the ticket now belongs to him.
The ante is raised when his poker buddies
arrive for their weekly poker game. Tepper plays it cool, hurrying the game
along so he can get rid of his buddies early and plan his next move
When Avery, the rightful owner of the wallet shows up to claim it, Tepper must make another decision: to keep the ticket or
give it back. He decides to keep it, figuring Avery will never know the
difference. He returns the wallet with a losing ticket in place of the winner.
A sudden police emergency traps the entire group inside the apartment, and now
Tepper must not only deal with Avery, who may or may not know his deception. But
he must also find a way to escape the group's weekly high-stakes poker game:
Last Man Standing – in which each player must bet their lottery ticket.
Throughout the night, Tepper's actions become increasingly desperate until finally, he explodes at his innocent and
loving, elderly neighbor. It is at this moment that Tepper realizes where his
soul is heading, who he is in danger of becoming, and what he must do to turn
his life around. His new goal is now crystal clear: he must
reverse the mess he has created and return the winning lottery ticket to its
rightful owner. The only problem is…someone else in the game knows the ticket is
a winner!
