A former Olympic-class skier, whose career is derailed by a severe accident, finds a new path in life when she takes over a high-stakes poker game in Los Angeles. Initially hired as an assistant to an abrasive poker organizer, she quickly learns the ropes and leverages her intelligence, cunning, and charm to become the game’s mastermind. Her games attract a rich and famous clientele, consisting of movie stars, business tycoons, and unbeknownst to her, members of the Russian mob. As her operation grows, so does her power, but her ambition starts to outpace her ability to manage the dangers that come with such high stakes, leading to a fall from grace.

Facing legal troubles that could land her in prison for a long time, she hires a criminal defense lawyer who is both skeptical of her and fascinated by the complexity of her case. The lawyer’s in-depth investigation into her operations reveals the extent of her empire, the high-profile names involved, and the legal gray areas she navigated. Their relationship, based on mutual respect and an understanding of what's at stake, becomes the central touchstone as they prepare to face a federal indictment. Through this legal battle, she must reconcile her identity as the "Poker Princess" with her personal morals and the life she wishes to lead post-scandal.
