Set against the backdrop of New York's high-stakes poker world, Rounders is the tale of one man's journey to pursue his ultimate dream. Matt Damon ('Good Will Hunting', John Grisham`s The Rainmaker' and 'Saving Private Ryan') stars as Mike McDermott, master card player who trades the poker-playing ways for a shot at a new life. Mike is attending law school and spending time with his girlfriend and classmate Jo, played by Gretchen Moll ('The Last Time I Committed Suicide', Woody Allen`s 'Celebrity'). For Mike, the law school route is a legitimate road to success, but it's short on thrills and the excitement of back-room poker games.
Then, when a longtime friend named Worm, played by Edward Norton ('Primal Fear', 'The People vs. Larry Flynt' and 'American History X'), is released from prison, Mike is faced with the dilemma of dealing himself back into the world of 'rounders' for the sake of his friend.
