When Nathan is released, he is determined to discover the identity of the true killer. Meanwhile, Nikki uses her incredible skill at cards in illegal poker games.

As her poker connections and dogged determination lead her deep into the dark underbelly of crime, Nikki must rely on her friends and her street smarts to discover the murderer before she is killed. Despite dangers and betrayals, Nikki is able to pull off the ultimate hustle, revealing her father’s killer and sending him to jail.
