The gaming world, the races, the games of poker, the days of luck and the days of bad luck, Vincent knows this by heart. Resourceful, extravagant, ingenious, everything pits him against his next door neighbor, his friend André, a cursed writer, locked in his shabby hotel room trying to finish the last pages of his first novel. At this moment, nothing is going any more for Vincent. Debt-crammed, manhandled by increasingly threatening moneylenders, Vincent absolutely needs to rebuild himself by playing the biggest game of poker of the year.
