Hard Eight (Sydney)
English audio, versión original (VOSE) · Current release
Sydney Brown, a well-dressed senior gambler, approaches John Finnegan, a homeless man in his mid-20s, sitting forlornly outside a diner in Sparks, Nevada. Sydney offers John a cigarette and buys him a cup of coffee. John tells Sydney that he went bust in Las Vegas and needs $6,000 for his mother's funeral. They travel to Vegas, where Sydney teaches John how to gamble in a casino with just $150 so that the casino will give him a free room and other complimentary amenities.
