Proposition Player

As a proposition player employed by the casino, it was Joey Martin's job to sit in on big poker games and keep the game rolling. But when the often-stingy Martin jokingly offers to buy the souls of his coworkers for a round of beer, the shady but charming gambler learns the true meaning of high stakes. With the souls that he possesses acting as the key to dominion over the afterlife, Martin comes face to face with an assortment of otherworldly beings from Heaven and Hell. Now relying on his gambling skills and abilities to deliver him from this hilarious and unpredictable mythical adventure, the professional hustler only makes matters worse when he accidentally causes his own ascension to godhood. SUGGESTED FOR MATURE READERS.
