An overeducated underachiever, Peter Alson spent his post-college
decades doing his best not to grow up. But having just turned
fifty, this rambling-gambling bachelor decides it's time to settle
down. So he pops the question to his longtime girlfriend, then
hatches a plan to pay for their wedding -- involving poker and a
trip to Las Vegas. Boarding a plane bound for the neon desert and
the biggest game in town -- the 2005 World Series of Poker -- this
inveterate gambler and bad boy stares down his past and his future
while competing for over $56 million in prize money.
"Take Me to the River" is a hilarious, wrenching, full-tilt
Vegas exploration of one man's obsession with poker and the lessons
it has to offer -- about probability and luck, good fortune and
bad, patience, perseverance, and -- most fitting for a man with
marriage in his near future -- commitment.
