Synopsis

DANTE is a Jazz Musician, he is a natural born charmer, you could say that he is a snake whisperer, but he has one little big problem, he has a serious gambling problem, one could say that he is a degenerate gambler. He lost everything he has or that he could have had to his addiction.
Although he plays Jazz in a number of clubs, been a musician is more of a hobby, so in order to solve his gambling addiction he often does some “business”, that is what he calls them, but in reality, they are cons, real acts of fraud.
As in many other occasions before Dante is up to his ears in debt, but this time he owes to the kind of people that don’t forget debts very easily. Everything he tries to do in order to pay up backfires on him, making the hole where he is buried almost impossible to climb up.
When it looks like he is out of options he meets PALOMA a woman that comes to town to collect an inheritance. The inheritance that Paloma has to collect is not free of problems, and Dante sees an opportunity to help her and in the process, help himself.
Dante is in a place with no way out, he either pays up, or he won’t live to place a new bet.
