Childhood friend Lester, nicknamed "The Worm" (Edward Norton), interferes with Mike's measured life, who leaves prison with a huge baggage of debts, and in the first days at large manages to make powerful enemies for himself. To save his friend, Mike is forced to return to the world of the high-stakes card game, thereby breaking a promise made to his bride and himself.
