Beth (Rebecca Hall) wants to change her life as a stripper. She goes to Vegas with the plan of becoming a bartender, but when she meets Dink (Bruce Willis), a professional sports gambler, he takes the green young ingénue under his wing and adds her to his team. Thrilled when his new recruit brings him luck, Dink sees his business take off... until Tulip, Dink's big-haired wife (Catherine Zeta-Jones) feels threatened and gets rid of her. Once fired, Beth tries out her new skills on others. A few initial risks and failures later, there's more than money at stake, and Beth needs to ask her mentor for help...
