Story synopsis: Two years after being betrayed by his love, Claire Ein is lured back into playing poker by an old friend, Peter, as a part of a scheme to steal all of the money.  While Ein is reluctant, he learns that Claire is holding the game.  Ein has not been able to forget Claire, and his desire to see her again makes Ein accept Peter's proposition.

Roles wanted to fill: Ein - late 20s/30s.  Male protagonist, driven by his love for Claire.
Peter - late 20s/30s.  Ein's old friend, a bit of a loose cannon.  He is driven by greed and a desire to get revenge on Claire for cheating him.
Claire - mid 20s-late 30s.  Ein's former lover.  This beautiful woman conveys a serious, professional attitude, and is manipulative of others.
