Alton Richards is an awkward teen who has just lost his girlfriend to his best friend. His mother forces Alton into the company of his wealthy great uncle, an aloof, blind bridge genius called Lester, in the hope that Alton will worm his way into his rich relative's affections and get the family a mention in Lester's will. Alton takes a job as the "card turner" – telling Lester what cards he holds and playing them when he's told to do so. But Alton has competition from another young relative, the beautiful but possibly insane Toni Castaneda. The dark secrets of the past are distorting any chance of happiness in the present. Alton can't wait for life to start and Lester can't wait for it to be over. http://www.guardian.co.uk/
