The film's cast includes Lindsay Crouse, Joe Mantegna, Ricky Jay, and J. T. Walsh.

The film's plot is one where a psychiatrist comes to the aid of a compulsive gambler and is led by a smooth-talking grifter into the shadowy but compelling world of stings, scams, and con men. The famous psychologist, Margaret Ford (Crouse), decides to try to help one of her patients to get out of a gambling debt. She visits the bar where Mike Mancuso (Mantegna), to whom the debt is owed, runs poker games. He convinces the doctor to help him in a game: her assignment is to look for "tells", or give-away body language. This may seem easy to her; things however become much more complex in a very short time.
