Lizzie Palmer is finally getting everything she’s worked for. It’s her dream come true when shortly after graduating from law school, she’s offered a job interview with a prestigious firm in Las Vegas.

The timing couldn’t be better, because she’ll also be in Vegas that week for a poker tournament. Thanks to her legal classes in strategy and subterfuge, her one-time hobby has become an unexpected income stream.

Now, she’s slated to play against Patrick Kingston, dubbed the Poker King, the best professional poker player in the business who’s won a veritable fortune in the game. However, when Lizzie gets trapped in an elevator with a stranger on her way to the tournament, the stakes are suddenly raised higher than she ever anticipated.
