A dead woman, a casino chip, and a sex club where everyone's losing more than money.
While a young woman is found dead in the back seat of a car, the inspector in charge of the case discovers a casino chip stuck between the fingers of the victim. Intrigued by this unusual track, he goes back to a secret game circle with rather sulphurous rules. Indeed, the customers are each time ruined by the croupier, and are calmed by the hostesses present in the establishment, who do not hesitate to drug them to take advantage of them. The policeman decides to immerse himself in the particular atmosphere of this game circle, in order to lead the investigation but also to enjoy the pleasures that can be offered to him ...

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Pascal Lucas primarily worked in French adult cinema before attempting this crossover into thriller territory. The entire cast comes from that same industry background.
This represents a dying breed of European 'erotic thriller' that flourished in the 90s direct-to-video market — think Basic Instinct's budget cousins, now surviving mainly through streaming algorithm obscurity.
