Denn Doyle feeling lucky. His landscaping business is thriving, he's got money in the bank, his girlfriend loves him, and the city bus that ran into him that morning left him alive and well. Soon he'll turn sixteen and buy himself a car. Everything is going his way.

So when Jason Hicks and his buddies ask Denn to play a little poker, he says yes. The cards are dealt, the money is bet, and then the worst possible thing happens.

Denn wins. And he likes it.

Soon Denn is using a false ID to play in the local casino for ever-increasing stakes. As he enters the strange universe of high-stakes poker, the cards become his life: more real than his family, more important than his friends. Denn learns to read "tells" -- the tiny clues that give away other players' hands. He figures he can't lose.

But one other player -- the stonefaced, emotionless Mr. Kingston -- has no tells at all.

Denn soon finds himself in the biggest game of his life, head-to-head with Kingston and his cronies, with far more than money at stake. To win, Denn must put all his emotions aside and play "stone cold" -- but at what cost?
