Mister Cory

In a world where the glitter of high society sits just a stone’s throw from the grit of the city’s underbelly, ambition has a price and every glittering invitation hides an unspoken wager. The story drifts between opulent resort lounges, the bustling streets of Chicago, and the sleek allure of New York, painting a portrait of an era where fortunes are made and lost on the turn of a card and the whisper of a promise. The atmosphere is thick with cigarette smoke, the clink of glasses, and the restless hum of those who dare to dream beyond their birthright.

Cory arrives in this arena as a restless youth from Chicago’s slums, whose talent for gambling is matched only by his appetite for opportunity. He takes a modest position as a busboy at a lavish Wisconsin resort, using the role as a stepping‑stone into a world of wealth and influence. Quick‑witted and unafraid to gamble on himself, he views each encounter as a chance to rise, navigating the fine line between charm and calculation.

Abby Vollard embodies the glamorous upper echelon that Cory covets—a socialite whose effortless elegance masks a desire for excitement beyond the confines of her privileged circle. Their chemistry sparks a complex dance of attraction and ambition, where personal longing collides with the strategic maneuvers required to ascend the social ladder. Watching from the periphery is Biloxi, an older, seasoned gambler whose experience offers a subtle counterpoint to Cory’s brash optimism, hinting at the deeper currents that run beneath the surface of the high‑stakes world.

Against this backdrop of glittering parties, whispered backroom deals, and relentless competition, the film explores the intoxicating pull of power, the perilous balance between love and ambition, and the ever‑present question of how far one will go when the odds are stacked in favor of desire.
