A man on a yearlong road trip across the U.S. teams up with a young card shark against two rich amateurs in a game of poker that seems to represent the opportunity of a lifetime. But things don't turn out quite as planned for the partners when, after losing all their money, they find themselves at the mercy of their opponents. In order to work off the debt, they become involved in an absurd and ultimately dangerous scenario from which there seems to be no escape. THE MUSIC OF CHANCE is a subtly gripping drama about luck, fate, and consequence.
