By Art Camacho

Deuces wild is the story of Ethan Gray, a young poker hustler from the Midwest who gets mistaken for a high stakes poker player in Las Vegas. This wouldn't be so bad if this Poker player wasn't also a mobster involved in one the biggest heists in Sin City. Ethan bit off more than he could chew and is about to play for the highest stakes ever: His life.

Synopsis

Ethan Gray was the best Poker player there was in Kansas City MS. He could practically guess each card that came from the dealers hand but being the best in his home town ain't nothing compared the high stakes of Vegas. He sets out on the road with all the money he has in the world, which isn't much. And on his way he's side-swiped by another car and his car is totaled. Everything seems lost until he looks down and sees the that driver of the car which by the way survived with a few scratches, is unconscious. Ethan decides to take his car and his wallet and head to Vegas. he reasons, it's only right since the driver crashed into him and besides it's just for a short while. Just until he scores big. Ethan has every intention of bringing the car and the money back to the guy. Little does Ethan know, that the guy who totaled his car wasn't just another drunk driver but a mobster on his way to Vegas. "One Punch Eddie", was poisoned by his wife who wanted out of their marriage.

Ethan hits the strip and the Vegas hotel where the high stakes game that "Eddie" was supposed to participate in, is being played and Ethan is mistaken for "Eddie". At first Ethan is shitting bricks but goes along with the charade anyways. He finds himself surrounded by a group that looks like the who's who of "Al Capone's gang. He starts winning big and just as he's about to collect and go back home, "Big Harry", the Mobster who's throwing the game pulls him aside and reveals the "real" plan for the gathering: A heist under the very noses of everyone. A major MMA Cage fight also factor's into his plans and unfortunately for Ethan he's a part of both. If that wasn't enough, Big Harry takes Ethan upstairs to see "Eddie's" wife Sherry "Baby doll" Riley. Ethan's heart races and he thinks about making a run for it but he knows he'd probably end up with cement shoes in the river somewhere. He reaches her door and a beautiful stacked blond bombshell opens it and there's dead silence. Then, Sherry grabs him and plants a big wet one on him. Big Harry leaves them alone and that's when she lowers the boom. Ethan finds out that Sherry was the one who poisoned "Eddie" to get out of their marriage and Ethan finds out that if he's discovered he'll be chopped up into pieces, so both of them agree to go along with the charade until they can find a way to get out in one piece. To make matters worse, One Punch Eddie survives and is on his way to Vegas with Revenge on his mind.
