Mike McDermott (Matt Damon) er innstilt på å gjøre de riktige tingene i livet. Sammen med samboeren Jo (Gretchen Mol) forsøker han å komme seg gjennom jusstudiene på veien til en lukrativ advokatstilling. Men Mike er belemret med noe spesielt: et stort talent for poker på profesjonelt nivå. Han har i årevis blitt dratt mot røykfylte bakrom i New York's underverden der pokerlagene spiller med nok penger i potten til å gjøre folk formuende for livet, eller evige gjeldsslaver.
Mike er dyktig, men en kveld satser han hodeløst og lander med et gjeldstynget smell. Han lover dyrt og hellig for Jo at han heretter skal leve fornuftig og satse på utdanningen og trygge verdier. Mikes fornuft får seg en knekk den dagen han ønsker barndomsvennen Lester "Worm" Murphy (Edward Norton) tilbake til friheten etter et opphold i fengselet... "Worm" er også en lidenskapelig spiller, men med en hang til å ta de ikke helt lovlige snarveiene. Blakk og forgjeldet skal "Worm" som fri mann forsøke seg igjen på bakrommene i verdensbyen. Han forsøker å overtale Mike til å bli med som partner, men jusstudenten stritter i mot.
Til slutt blir fristelsen for stor. Mike satser høyt igjen. Som belønning taper han kjæresten, og blir medansvarlig for "Worm's" spillegjeld hos de mest brutale gangsterne i spillemiljøet. Det er ikke lenger bare penger det spilles om - nå er livet lagt i potten!
