A lighthearted Western comedy-adventure built on charm, con artistry, and the chemistry between two roguish protagonists racing toward a high-stakes poker game.

Bret Maverick is a gambler who would rather con someone than fight them, and needs an additional $3k in order to enter a winner-takes-all poker game beginning in a few days. He joins forces with a woman with a marvelous Southern accent, and the two try and enter the game.
