DEUCE'S WILD
By Dennis Manning

GENRE: Thriller
LOGLINE:

In the neon underworld of Chicago, a streetwise upstart known as Deuce finds himself entangled in a violent power struggle between a seductive club owner, a ruthless kingpin, and a crooked cop. As loyalties fracture and bodies drop, Deuce must decide who he is—and how far he's willing to go—before his wild card is played for good.

SYNOPSIS:

•Deuce is the wildcard—cool, quiet, calculating. But when he’s pulled into a high-stakes poker game run by a ruthless kingpin, nothing stays in the deck.

•His only allies:

•Jack, the suave strategist with secrets of his own.

•Six, the sharp, street-smart hustler with more skin in the game than she lets on.

•Their world revolves around The Wild Card, a speakeasy pulsing with danger, desire, and double-crosses.

•As the bodies pile up and allegiances shift, Deuce discovers the ultimate twist: he’s not just playing the game—he was born into it.
