Wild Card

In the neon‑blazed underbelly of Las Vegas, every alley hums with the promise of a quick win and the threat of a swift fall. Nick Wild drifts through this world as a self‑styled “chaperone,” a bodyguard who trades his own demons—most notably a past tangled with gambling addiction—for the safety of strangers who can afford his ambiguous brand of protection. The city’s relentless flash and the constant clink of chips echo his internal battle, making the desert oasis feel as much a prison as a playground.

When a desperate woman pulls him into a perilous knot of loyalty, danger, and old debts, Nick is thrust into a deadly game that pits his skill against forces far larger than any casino table. The threat comes from the son of a powerful mob boss, turning a seemingly routine guard job into a high‑stakes gamble where every decision could cost a life. Alongside the woman’s plight, Nick must also watch over a close friend caught in the crossfire, forcing him to juggle his protective instincts with the urge to break free from the self‑destructive patterns that have long haunted him.

The film pulses with a gritty, kinetic energy, blending razor‑sharp action with a brooding, noir‑like mood. As the stakes rise, the glitz of Vegas becomes a backdrop for a deeper exploration of redemption, loyalty, and the thin line between survival and surrender. Nick Wild stands at the center of this volatile dance, his expertise and inner turmoil colliding in a world where trust is scarce and every gamble could be the last. The story teases a reckoning that will test whether he can outwit the chaos around him and finally chart a course away from the shadows that have defined his life.
