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.
