Of Kings and Aces

What does it take to change the course of a person's life? One small, seemingly trivial decision.

For Jacob, it was when he decided to play a game of poker in a new city he was supposed to call home for the next few years. But he was at the wrong place, at the wrong time.

For Ace, it was when he drove to a different city in the middle of the night to collect an employee from a police station. A man he believed he's never even met but whose eyes had already imprinted on him a few nights prior.

Two people, brought together by simple decisions that rippled and entwined them. Two decisions that landed them as indispensable pieces in a wild game of chess against each other.

One night. One game.

One web of deception that led to a series of life-changing lethal events.

One goal: to protect their king.
