On a hot summer's day Rey Reyes, a computer programmer for a large bank, walks into Washington Square Park to pay off a debt his uncle incurred the night before to chess hustlers. The hustlers, who are in dire needs of money, talk Rey into playing a few games. "Ninety-Two," a Holocaust survivor, who is always interfering with the hustlers' trade, tries to pry Rey away from them. The struggle for Rey's soul between the hustlers and "Ninety-Two" gets more and more heated until the game becomes a life and death struggle.
