How do you let go? Daniel Sawyer has grappled with this question since his brother Jake was murdered. Seven months later, his murder is still unsolved. Relying on drugs to cope with school and social anxiety, deep down Daniel harbors the feeling that Jake deserves justice.

His world changes when he runs into a seedy old friend who offers him a chance to win big at a high-stakes poker game.
