Montreal, 1933—a city of dimly lit backrooms, rigged games, and men who will kill to keep their secrets.
When American card shark Jim Calloway vanishes after a streak of improbable wins at The Royal Spade, an exclusive underground casino, his desperate brother seeks out private investigator Blake Lowry. What starts as a simple missing person case quickly turns into something far more dangerous. Jim wasn't just beating the house—he was attracting the attention of the city's most ruthless players.

Blake's search leads him into the underbelly of Montreal's gambling syndicates, where rival gangs, corrupt cops, and a powerful casino boss all have a stake in keeping Jim silent. The deeper Blake digs, the more he realizes that Jim's disappearance isn't just about a lucky hand—it's about a game far deadlier than cards.

With the clock ticking and bodies piling up, Blake must navigate a city where loyalty is bought, debts are paid in blood, and the wrong move could cost him everything. To find Jim, Blake will have to play the most dangerous hand of his life—but in this city, the house always wins.
