The setter is named Harry, nicknamed Indian Axe, and he has a fearsome assistant, Barry, as well as a thug who serves him, Chris the Elder, who is responsible for violent debt collection, and he always takes his son Chris Jr. with him.
The four of them come to Ed's rental house, which is impassable, with poor sound insulation but cheap. Living next door to Ed is the drug dealer Dog and his men. Winston and a few young men grew marijuana in their quarters, and for safety, an iron door was installed at the door, but his men always forgot to lock the door, which caused Winston to reprimand them several times.
Ed's father runs a bar where the four often drink together, and Barry investigates the property of several people and tells Harry that he can let Ed participate. Harry was very fond of the two antique guns in the magazine and instructed Barry to find a way to get them.
Barry finds two thieves and orders them to sneak into the house to steal everything in the gun cabinet, and the two enter the house to subdue the owner and find their butler, who has taken the gun in a panic.
Ed is best at observing the color, and can capture the subtlest reactions and expressions of his opponents, so as to stand in an invincible position. That night, Ed arrives at the casino with the money, and the other three are herded to the bar next door, unaware that the casino has a hidden camera, Ed's deck is clearly seen, he has no chance of winning, everything is within Harry's control.
Ed won more and lost less, the more he played, the more confident he became, and in the last round, Harry continued to increase his chips for opening cards, and also lent Ed a lot of money to let him double his call, and could not open the cards, and finally Ed borrowed half a million to open the cards and lost unexpectedly, not only lost the four brothers' one hundred thousand pieces, but also owed Harry a full half a million. He leaves the casino in despair, intimidated by Barry into having to scrape together half a million in a week, or cut off his and his friends' fingers until he takes his father's bar to pay off the debt.
The four had to accept this cruel reality, no money and no debt, and they didn't know what to do for a while, except to get drunk in the bar.
The drug dealer Dog is a ruthless character who will stop at nothing to demand debts, and his horse Boy Planck is a regular customer of Winston's drug business, and when he buys drugs, he finds Winston's money full of shoe boxes and their unsuspecting doors, and tells Dog that he is going to bring people to grab money. Their conversation happened to be heard by Ed next door, and he gathered the brothers to decide to have a yellow sparrow behind.
Tom approached Nick to inquire about the next family who bought the drugs, and Nick said that he could act as an intermediary to contact Roy Baker and sold Tom the two guns sold to him by the two thieves for seven hundred dollars each.
Roy Baker promised to buy his goods for 3500 per kilogram, and the two thieves gave Bally the guns in the gun cabinet, except for the two antique guns, because they were not in the gun cabinet, and the two sold them to Nick to cash out. Barry was furious and ordered them to return two guns or they would finish playing.
