When Rufus' pregnant daughter, Camille, and her unemployed husband, Cody, move in with Rufus, an all-out battle ensues. Rufus and Cody begin to compete for Camille's love and attention, and Rufus finds it impossible to relinquish control over Camille. Soon the battle between Rufus and Cody escalates into a game of Cajun poker, where they try to bluff, manipulate, and control each other. And it's this desire to win at any cost that leads to the discovery of Rufus' secret - one that he's been hiding for more than 20 years, and one that threatens to destroy him. | |||||
