Narrative Short
2012

'Sins of the father, sins of the son.' Bigsby, known as 'Big Boss' to his men, is the Seattle crime lord who raises a glass of whiskey with these words to Bodhi in SHUFFLE, whom he saved as young a boy from a life on the streets but raised to become a professional killer within his criminal empire. Bodhi has come to confront Big Boss after his last 'job' was witnessed by a young Boy who is now in danger himself because of what he's seen. Needing to be released from the control of this nefarious father figure so he can move on from his criminal lifestyle, Bodhi must play a high stakes hand of poker with a manipulative man who really only plays solitaire, regardless of the name of the game.

Acclaimed actor Denis Arndt (BASIC INSTINCT), Aron Michael Thompson and Brent David Fraser (WILD AT HEART) star in this powerful and thrilling drama about the challenges faced when trying to break free from the corrupting chains that bind the vulnerable to their unfortunate upbringing. How well will we play the cards we are dealt by life when the stakes couldn't possibly be raised any higher than they are already?
