Summaries

A trio of desperate men are forced to participate in a nightmarish game of blackjack for their souls. The circumstances behind how these fellows wound up in purgatory are revealed in three individual segments: Two vicious hoodlums break into the basement dwelling of an old hermit who isn't nearly as harmless as he appears to be; an unscrupulous entertainment lawyer gets more than he bargained for when he decides to steal several songs from a deceased blues singer; and a young ex-con agrees to help a scuzzy drug dealer rob a pharmaceutical lab in order to save his girlfriend from the clutches of said dope pusher.—Woodyanders

Three men find themselves forced to gamble blackjack for their souls with the Dealer that is the devil. As long as they bet, the reasons why they are in that place is revealed. "Cellar Space": The hoodlums Peter (Rocky Patterson) and his accomplice Fred kill a man and they break into the basement to escape from the police, where the harmless Nickodemus live. They give an abusive treatment to the old man and discover that he is actually a powerful demon. "Blues in the Night": The lawyer and aspirant songwriter Phillip Barton finds a demo tape of the unknown blues singer Samson Burke in a garage sale and he becomes obsessed to find the man, affecting his relationship with his girlfriend Lynda. He discovers that Samson Burke is an obscure blues man that was forgotten by his family after his death, and Phillip decides to take the credit for his songs. But Samson returns from the afterlife to collect Phillip soul. "Dark Dealer": Ray meets the drug dealer Cracker expecting to pay the debts of his addicted girlfriend Denise that is forced to prostitute for Cracker. The drug dealer proposes that Ray steals the badge of his father that works in a pharmaceuticals laboratory and they break into the laboratory to heist drugs. Cracker takes an experimental drug and transforms himself into a lethal ball of lights. Now Ray has to gamble for his soul and try to save Denise that was dragged into the ball.—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
