Ballad of a Small Player

Lord Freddy Doyle appears the picture of a refined gentleman at a glamorous Macao hotel, but beneath his impeccable exterior, he is a man on the brink. Buried in debt and unable to secure credit, he is under constant pressure from a shady local creditor. Hoping to reinvent himself as an anonymous foreigner, Doyle is fleeing his past. Yet the sophisticated Cynthia Blithe knows the truth about him, and a sympathetic casino employee offers a final chance at escape. As the web of debts and secrets tightens around him, it becomes increasingly uncertain whether Doyle can ever find a way out.
