SYNOPSIS:

Dead Hand can be best described as a mix of (Rounders meets Misery - Saw - 12 Angry Men)

Billy Ravana Jr is a Limousine driver / poker player who kidnaps six of the worlds top poker professionals and locks them to a dusty poker table in the basement of his Nevada ranch. Billy obsessively tries to win his DEAD fathers approval by figuring out the perfect No Limit Holdem Poker strategy. However, obsessed with the odds and numbers Billy cannot understand poker variance as he forces the players to play a game at gun point, however, this game becomes the most deadliest game of all because if they lose their chips, Billy takes their life! A police man hunt is on the way. Meanwhile, Billys ex girlfriend Scotty comes back into town and tries to reconnect. Billy continues to go to and from work as if nothing is happening out of the ordinary, Billy's world slowly comes crippling down one card at a time. No poker movie in history had this much intensity or had so much at steak in one poker game. So by putting the professional poker players lives on the line makes this film extremely nail-biting, suspenseful and in turn makes it the ultimate and bloodiest game of poker ever played.

Dead Hand will change how people view poker through a dark horrific story with a twisted turn of events.

A key note - the film / series will unfold retrospectively - the anonymous perspective of the storyteller will be a guessing game for the audience as they try to figure out who is actually telling the story.

Which of these players will find themselves, drawing dead?
