"Once you've lifted the card, you can not go back." By a twist of fate, Rory Hawkins accidentally comes across her dead mother's unique deck of cards. She knew how dangerous they were, yet, her temptations got the best of her and Rory picks up an Ace of Hearts, unwittingly releasing Ace, a mythological creature known for his treacherous deals and thievery of hearts. It's said that, once he gets a hold of you, he'll slow down your heart and eventually stop it if you don't oblige to his commands. Ace commands Rory to gamble with at least 10 people in the span of 19 days and ruin their lives if she valued her own. She knows that once you make a deal with Ace of Hearts, you were bound to be stuck until your heart ceased to beat. Perhaps, if she hadn't been so poor at gambling, it wouldn't have been a problem.
