Ross is in debt to the mob at a high stakes poker tournament in Las Vegas. Desperate for a way out, he strikes a deal with a kid who has just won a huge slot machine jackpot, but is too young to claim the prize money. A deadly chain reaction follows as they battle the casino mob, a Hong Kong Triad, a North Hollywood loan shark, a gang of Crips, the Las Vegas police and each other.
