When a faithless English business owner, with a loving wife and daughter and a penchant for other women along with a gambling addiction, loses a huge sum of money he can't afford to make good on to a Japanese man in a private game of poker at a London casino, it will not be the Japanese man himself who sets out to recover the debt.
