Throughout history, there has always been a chasm between the bulk of humanity and the enigmatic circle who hold true dominion. Those whose influence remains shrouded, save for the rare instances when their designs cross into the outside world… and the real-world repercussions of their schemes can play out with dramatic results.
Former online poker player Jimmy Harmon finds himself returning to live play after his accounts are suspended. But his attempts to rebuild his bankroll are interrupted when his friend Will Archer warns him that one of his less-than-reputable creditors, semi-reformed Las Vegas gangster Wiktoria Sałkiewicz, is actively seeking him out.
LISTEN TO THE EPISODE
Length: 24:25
Rated AD-PG, so parental guidance is suggested
Contains a character being tortured, multiple uses of “ass” and “bitch,” and — depending on who you ask — a really bad Australian accent. (I mean, we’ve heard far worse.)
