House of Games

Nothing is as it seems.

A famous psychologist, Margaret Ford, decides to try to help one of her patients get out of a gambling debt. She visits the bar where Mike, to whom the debt is owed, runs poker games. He convinces her to help him in a game: her assignment is to look for 'tells', or give-away body language. What seems easy to her becomes much more complex.
