Synopsis:





Molly Bloom, a beautiful young Olympic-class skier, ran the
world's most exclusive high-stakes poker game for a decade before
being arrested in the middle of the night by 17 FBI agents
wielding automatic weapons. Her players included Hollywood
royalty, sports stars, business titans, and finally, unbeknownst
to her, the Russian mob. Her only ally was her criminal defense
lawyer Charlie Jaffey, who learned that there was much more to
Molly than the tabloids led us to believe.
