Ok, so Here is my idea... feel free to steal it if you like it... I have hundreds of them ;-)
The story takes place in mexico City... based on a few real characters I know...
My Story (Death Mans Hand)A8
The Story starts in black and white... in the back of a bar, where there is a private room, there are a few tables where people are playing poker, but we are focused on one table... where a big Mafia Boss is playing poker against a local legend... His Name is Johnny Barajas, he once took down $1.5 Million Pesos from a Vegas pro in less then 5 hours... his son is watching close to him, and as his father plays against the Mafia Boss... Johnny would call his son over and show him his hand, only 10 years old... but he thought him everything he knows about the game.
This game was a little then any other game, a lot was riding on this game... his Johnny showed his kid As 8s, the flop came A c 8d 8h... full house, the betting started with the Mafia Boss, he raised almost half his stacked... Johnny confident with what he had... pushed all in... the Mafia Boss Called, and before he could turn them over Johnny knew the bad news... He had Ad Ah... for a bigger full house...
The Mafia Boss order his body guards to grab Johnny and take him out back... his kid, watched as the two body guards took his father out back... that was the last time he would ever seem him again...
10 YEARS LATER...
the little kid is not so little any more... working at a restaurant washing dishes for a living. His mother didn't want him following on his fathers foot steps, she didn't want to loose him like she lost his father.
The KID was good at the game, he still played with friends at their homes, he stilled remembered everything his father thought him... His friends would ask him go to with him to the Clubs and Bars... where they had poker games.. he refused every time... on the count of his mom not wanting him to play...
One Day the KID was walking on the streets and bumped into an old friend of his fathers... who owns a very nice private casino... He would tell him about his father and how great he used to be... he told "listen KID, if you ever decide to start playing come see me... i'll give you a line of credit for you to play with.." The KID thanked him, but told him not any time soon...
Work was getting complicated, and bills were pilling up... he was getting frustrated... some people are born to be dishwashers, but some people are just destine for bigger things... so he left the dishes and walked out on the job at the restaurant... Went to the private casino, where his fathers friend told him he would give him a line of credit... he welcomed him with open arms... gave him $50,000 pesos to start playing with... in this then 2 hours he turned it into $274,000...
For the next few weeks he was at the clubs and bars playing poker on a regular basis... making a lot of money... on the weekends he would go out with his friends to the most expensive night clubs... limo rides and champagne... beautiful girls... the works... he got it all...
But the fun came to an end... the Mafia Boss, walked into the casino he was playing in... came over to the table where the KID was playing... and told him... "You have been playing in my area with out paying taxes for it", the body guards grabbed the KID and took him to the back alley... the Mafia Boss took all of his Money... as the KID was getting a beating from the Body Guards... once he had all his money... they left him on the street...
The KID was angry... he wanted avenge his father, and get his money back... back at the casino, his fathers friend told him... he would give him $1 Million Pesos for him to play against the Mafia Boss... So he went over to the Mafia Bosses Casino and Challenged him... the Mafia Boss Agreed... but told him, if you loose you also loose your life... it was a dangerous proposition... but the KID accepted...
they both sit down with $1 Million Pesos in Chips... he gets flash backs from that day he saw his father playing the Mafia Boss... the first few hands the KID takes a little hit... and is now down a little more then half his stack... the Mafia Boss tells him "thinks aren't looking good for you, but don't worry soon you'll be joining your father". As he finished saying that, the Mafia Boss took a sip from his Whisky... the KID noticed that every time he took a sip, he had a made hand... He began to use this against the Mafia Boss... to rebuild his stack...
The Final Hand... The KID gets dealt 8s 9s, the Mafia Boss Ah Kh.. flop comes 7s 10s Kc, The KID Checks, and the Mafia Boss Bets... KID calls... the Turn... 6h.. The KID checks again... the Mafia Boss Bets.. KID calls.. the last card is the Kd... The KID checks... and this time the Mafia Boss Movies all in... and tells him "you were on a flush draw and didn't get there, now you are in to deep".... the KID Calls and turns over the straight...
The Mafia Boss is angry that he lost against the KID... the body guards are moving towards the KID to grab him... but the Mafia boss orders them to stand down... he tells the KID, "You played good, your father would have been proud... i'll give you your money, but i don't want to see you again, you got 24 hours to get out of town".
The KID takes his winnings... packs his things into his 1960s Cadillac Convertible... says bye to his mom and friends... and drives out of town... on the passenger sit, a picture of his father... the KID (inside his head narrator) "There is nothing left for me to conquer in my home town, I have avenged my father and am sure he would have been proud, but now I must conquer my own goals and dreams"... and as he is driving on the highway... the camera pans away from him and zooms out from the car... we see the Vegas Lights...
