Cards That Kill Treatment

Ideas
Poker game explodes into murder when kid is found cheating
Shows how he needs the money to provide to his family
How he joins this group to get easy money

Start off with a group of people who are playing Poker with tons of cash in the middle of the table. Everyone is given cards and our main character looks at his cards and a flashback of him while his family is yelling in the background. He sees his parents yelling and the moms open purse open with no cash or credit cards. The dad says “Why is all our Money gone, you know I don’t get paid until next week. What am I going to put on the table?” The mom says to use the Credit Cards, but they can’t because we see all these letters from a Debt Company. We flashback to the kid where he looks at his cards “5Hearts and 2Clubs”. His facial expression shows frustration and we see him get more and more frustrated as he continues to get crappy cards. After awhile he’s down on chips and they decide to take a break. He’s the last one in the room, and notices a duplicate deck of cards. He snags it, and leaves.

Later, on we see the game starting back up and we see him with a bad hand again. He switches the cards and then has a pair of Kings. The rest of the cards lay out good and he wins the hand. We see another flashback of him with his parents during a good time of his life. This shows the light and how he continues to win. The other player’s chips are dwindling, and his are gaining as he keeps winning. But, he doesn’t realize that there are more face cards in the deck and more face cards are showing up. It all comes to an end when every player has a King and they see the flop with another king. A kid says, “What the hell is going on?” Everyone gets up and looks at each other. But, our main character is sitting sitting. One of the guys says “Hayyyy get the Hell up”. He stands and nothing happens. They trash the rooms, searching each other and then they see the deck under a pillow he was sitting on. They flip, and one jumps over the table and tackles em. He starts beating him up, and the can’t escape. The others pull the guy off em, and then there’s a flashback of him seeing his Dad driving away with boxes in the car kind of saying “I’m Done”. We go back and see the kid whose nose is bleeding and he too has the look on his face saying, “I’m done. The friends take the $ off the table and split it. The kid didn’t get his cut and now is trying to fight for it. He waits until there is one kid left who is the kid who lives their room. He waits till he turns around and strikes him in the head with his face. He grabs the $, and runs out of the house, He’s running to his car, and the other boys see him running with a bag. He is still running and saying to him “Why did I park, so far”. The boys run into the house and see the other boy who is KO on his floor. One of the boys says, “I’ll take care of this”, and runs out of the house. We see the kid with the money run into his car, and slam the door. The other kid jumps into his car and flies down the street and parks his car in front of the other kids. He jumps out and opens the Steeler's door and throws him out, another fight breaks out. A car is coming down the street, and the kid who stole the $ is thrown into the middle of the street, and is hit by the car. We see the other kids reaction and he is shocked that he’s done this. We see the kid on the floor, and we see a final flashback of “His mother saying “Your all I have, never put yourself into sticky situations that might hurt you”. We flash back to the kid who now looks dead on the street, and an ambulance siren in the background. We see the other kid call his mom and says “Ms. Smith………….. your going to have to come down here”.
