High Stakes

Ayla, a devout Muslim and astrophysics student, needs €22,000 for a NASA internship. Poker becomes a risky but promising option for her.

Vincent, her brother's charismatic secret lover, coaches Ayla in bluffing and tactics. But is she ready to prove herself in the illegal poker scene?

Ayla celebrates her first poker successes under her alias Nina. But the higher the stakes, the harder it becomes for her to hide her risky double life from her family.

Ayla wants to get out, but Vincent holds her back. As the pressure within her family grows, the two grow closer—dangerously close.

Ayla's addiction grows as she increasingly merges with her role as Nina. Vincent becomes more enigmatic and difficult to understand with each move.

Ayla takes a huge risk for a tournament with very high prize money, gets into debt, and faces dangerous opponents. Is Vincent perhaps on the wrong side?
