On the eve of Chinese New Year, three strangers—a woman named Crystal Shackleford, married to a wealthy philanderer; Judge Jerome Artbutny, who appears respectable; and Johnny West, a low‑life thief—convene before a small statue of the Chinese goddess of Destiny. They strike a pact to purchase a sweepstakes ticket together and agree to split any winnings that may result.
