About House of Games

Celebrated psychoanalyst and author Dr Margaret Ford has a new client. Billy needs help: he’s addicted to sex, drugs and, most dangerously, gambling big money at an illicit poker lounge, the House of Games. Dr Ford also happens to be in search of subject matter for her next best-seller - a search which takes her deep into Chicago’s underworld and into the path of Mike, a charismatic gambler. 

A complex game commences, in which even the players themselves don’t know the rules, their roles, or who will be left holding the trump card...

It’s worth the applause!
