Cards with the Devil

Picking up a single castaway playing card unknowingly sends Thomas, a small-time bootlegger from 1920s Chicago, on a decades-long transaction with the Devil.

While being "gifted" a lifetime of eternal youth, more and more cards of the same deck are discovered, and circumstances, relationships and decisions revealed. In exchange for youthful vigor, Thomas learns he ultimately owes the Devil a game of poker.

Is this eternal youth a blessing, or a curse?
